.SH NAME

ii \- irc it or irc improved
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B ii
|
|
is a minimalistic FIFO and filesystem based IRC client.
|
|
It creates an irc directory tree with server, channel and
|
|
nick name directories.
|
|
In every directory a FIFO file (in) and and normal file (out)
|
|
is placed. This will be for example ~/irc/irc.freenode.net/.
|
|
The in file is used to communicate with the servers and the out
|
|
files includes the server messages. For every channel and every nick
|
|
name there will be new in and out files.
|
|
The basic idea of this is to be able to communicate with an IRC
|
|
server with basic command line tools.
|
|
For example if you will join a channel just do echo "/j #channel" > in
|
|
and ii creates a new channel directory with in and out file.
