IRK(1)                             Commands                             IRK(1)

NAME
       irk - test program for irkerd

SYNOPSIS
       irk [target] [message text]

DESCRIPTION
       irk is a simple test program for irkerd(8). It will construct a simple
       JSON object and pass it to the daemon running on localhost.

OPTIONS
       irk takes the following options:

       target
           Which server and channel to join to announced the message. If not
           prefixed with "irc:", it will prefix "irc://chat.freenode.net/" to
           the argument before passing it directly to irkerd. This argument is
           passed as the "to" parameter in the JSON object.

       message
           Which message to send to the target specified above. If the string
           "-", the message will be read from standard input, with newlines
           stripped.

LIMITATIONS
       irk has no commandline usage and may be riddled with bugs.

       irk doesn't know how to talk to your favorite VCS. You will generally
       want to use irkerhook(1) instead

       irk has also all the limitations of irkerd.
