SYNOPSIS
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
irc.c [*-n NICK*] [*-u USER*] [*-s SERVER*] [*-p PORT*] [*-l LOGFILE*] [*-t*] [*-h*]
|

DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
**irc.c** is a simple IRC client. Features:
|
|
|
|
* infinite scrollback
|
|
* automatic reconnection
|
|
* utf8 support (inputting is still to do)
|
|
* line editing (emacs like keybindings)
|
|
* activity markers
|
|
* logging
|
|
* terminal resizes (inside an xterm)
|
|
|
|
The user interface uses multiple windows. The first window is always
|
|
the server window, and each channel or private message conversation
|
|
gets its own window. Press **^N** and **^P** for next/previous window.
|
|
|
|
There is no config file. Options are set on the command line and/or
|
|
in the environment.
|
|
|
