It then accepts input from stdin and +sends it to that server. Likewise, it reads stuff sent from the server and +sends it to stdout. Simple? Yes, it is. But wait! There's more! It +also intercepts server PINGs and automatically responds to them. This +frees up the process that starts ircio (such as IRCII) to pause without +fear of being pooted off the net. +.P +.B ircio +is not intended to be run by itself. It's started by ircII's -S command\-line +option. +.P +.SH BUGS +.B ircio +doesn't work at all with SSL\-enabled IRC connections. It also +doesn't work properly with the +.B libera.chat +network even without SSL: you can connect, but you'll get disconnected +before the MOTD is sent. +.P +There are better ways to solve the problem +.B ircio +solves, such as +.BR screen (1), +.BR tmux (1), +or just multiple X terminals. There's no need to suspend +.B ircII +in such environments. +.SH AUTHOR +.EX +Michael Sandrof +.EE +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ircII (1), +.BR ircflush (1) |
