It gives full access to all of the normal IRC functions, plus a +variety of additional options. + +ircII is the oldest IRC client still maintained. + +ircII has extensive built-in help, accessed by the /help command. If +you'd rather read the help in a browser, it's also available as: + +file:///usr/doc/ircII-20210616_2/html/index.html + +By default, this SlackBuild sets the default IRC server to +"SSLIRC/chat.freenode.org:6697". This only applies with ircII is +run without a server argument on the command line. You can change +the default server by setting the DEFSRV environment variable to the +host:port (with optional SSLIRC/ prefix for a secure connection), or +compile without a default server with DEFSRV=none. + +Optionally, ircII can be compiled with 'paranoid mode'. This stops +ircII from including the ircII version or realname/username in CTCP +VERSION and FINGER responses. It also stops ircII from responding to +channel-wide CTCP requests entirely. To do this, export PARANOID=yes +in the script's environment. |
