NAME

       ii - irc it or irc improved

DESCRIPTION

       ii  is  a  minimalistic FIFO and filesystem based IRC client.  It creates an irc directory tree with server, channel and nick name directo-
       ries.  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.

SYNOPSIS

       ii [-s servername] [-p port] [-k password] [-i prefix] [-n nickname] [-f realname]

OPTIONS

       -s servername
	      lets you override the default servername (irc.freenode.net)

       -p port
	      lets you override the default port (6667)

       -k password
	      lets  you  use a password to authenticate your nick on the server (be aware of the problem that this is visible in the process list,
	      if you don't want this use a query to submit your password)

       -i prefix
	      lets you override the default irc path (~/irc)

       -n nickname
	      lets you override the default nick ($USER)

       -f realname
	      lets you specify your real name associated with your nick

DIRECTORIES

       ~/irc  In this directory the irc tree will be created. In this directory you will find a directory for  your  server  (default:	irc.freen-
	      ode.net)	in  which the FIFO and the output file will be stored.	If you join a channel a new directory with the name of the channel
	      will be created in the ~/irc/$servername/ directory.

COMMANDS

       /a [<message>]
	      mark yourself as away

       /j #channel/nickname [<message>]
	      join a channel or open private conversation with user

       /l #channel/nickname
	      leave a channel or query

       /n nick
	      change the nick name

       /t topic
	      set the topic of a channel

       Everything which is not a command will simply be posted into the channel or to the server.
	      So if you need /who just write /WHO as described in the RFC to the server in FIFO.

       out file usage
	      Write wrappers, pagers or use your tools of choice to display the out file contents (loco, multitail, etc.).
