The two +together, while lacking the huge complexity of ircII, make a very usable +client. And if you know perl, you'll find you can do quite complicated +and interesting things with sirc too :) + +See /usr/pkg/lib/sirc/README for more usage instructions, and see +/usr/pkg/lib/sirc/PROGRAMMING for information on how to extend sirc. +Some example scripts can be found in /usr/pkg/lib/sirc/scripts. |
