💖 tinyirc(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the man page for tinyirc, and yes it lives in the Misc section of your manual, and honestly? it's giving vintage. it's tiny. it's an IRC client. it's literally right there in the name. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

tinyirc — A tiny IRC client 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tinyirc [-d] nick [server [port]]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so it's a stripped down IRC client, right? it gives you the basic IRC commands and that's... it. that's the whole vibe. 💀

⚠️ bestie, listen. this is a bare bones IRC client. it has no editing capabilities other than backspace to correct your typing. no command history (cursor up, down) and no word editing (cursor left, left). so type carefully, gorgeous. 😭

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — displays a short help. little crumb of guidance. 🫶
  • -d, --dumb — dumb mode. do not use the curses interface; it simply writes to stdout and reads commands from stdin. no frills, no drama, just pipes. 🍓

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

joining Freenode, iconic behaviour:

tinyirc mynick irc.freenode.org

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • IRCSERVER — sets the default server to connect to. format is HOST[:PORT]. 👑
  • IRCNICK — sets the default nickname to use. your whole identity, preset. 💜

🎀 FILES 🎀

None.

like, literally none. nothing. empty. the void. 🌌
