💖 ZOITECHAT 💖

okay so bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for ZoiteChat — an IRC Client — and honestly? she's iconic. 🎀 this is the zoitechat(1) page from the User Commands section, and we're gonna go through every single flag together. no skips, no skimming, we eat the whole menu. 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

ZoiteChat — literally an IRC Client. that's the whole name. short, sweet, slays. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

🦋 Usage:

zoitechat [OPTION...] URL

so you run the thing, you hand it some options, maybe a URL, and she's off. main character energy fr fr. 👑

💜 Help Options:

the "help me help you" corner of the manual. when you're lost, these are your besties. 🫶

  • -h, --help — shows you the help options. yes, the help option helps you find the help. iconic circular queen behavior. 💫
  • --help-all — shows you all the help options. not just some. ALL. the full lore drop. 📚
  • --help-gtk — shows you the GTK+ Options. GTK+ has its own little universe of options and this is how you peek into it. 🔍

⭐ Application Options:

the main event. the runway. the actual vibes. 🌈

  • -a, --no-auto — don't auto connect to servers. she will NOT be sliding into any server's DMs unprompted. you're driving, not her. 🚗
  • -d, --cfgdir=PATH — use a different config directory. swap *PATH* for wherever you want your config to live. changing rooms, changing eras. 🚪✨
  • -n, --no-plugins — don't auto load any plugins. zero plugins. none. not even the cute ones. 💀
  • -p, --plugindir — shows the plugin auto-load directory. just tells you where the plugins hang out. a little tour, no touching. 🎀
  • -u, --configdir — shows the user config directory. same vibe, but for your config. pointing, not changing. 🫵
  • --url=URL — opens an irc://server:port/channel?key URL. yes the ?key is part of the format, keep it, don't lose it. 🔑 note that the URL goes in via the option itself.
  • -c, --command=COMMAND — execute command: . you pass her a *COMMAND* and she runs it. (the colon in the original is doing its little thing, we respect it. 😌)
  • -e, --existing — open the URL or execute the command in an existing ZoiteChat instead of spawning a brand new one. reuse, recycle, reduce window clutter. ♻️
  • --minimize=level — begin minimized. the levels are: 0 = Normal, 1 = Iconified, 2 = Tray. pick your level of "i'm here but i'm being mysterious." 🙈
  • -v, --version — shows version information. the receipts. the credentials. 📜
  • --display=DISPLAY — the X display to use. tell her which display to show up on. 💻
