NAME
blackened-ircserv - a quaint little program to make irc life PING free
SYNOPSIS
blackened-ircserv server port
DESCRIPTION
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
blackened-ircserv is a.k.a. ircserv.
ircserv gets called by an ircII based irc client.
This little program connects to the server on the given port. It then accepts input from stdin and sends it to that server. Likewise, it reads stuff sent from the server and sends it to stdout. Simple? Yes, it is. But wait! There's more! It also intercepts server PINGs and automatically responds to them. This frees up the process that starts ircserv (such as IRCII) to pause without fear of being pooted off the net.
Future enhancements: No-blocking io. It will either discard or dynamically buffer anything that would block.
