robustirc-bridge(1)


NAME

   robustirc-bridge - bridge between IRC and RobustIRC

SYNOPSIS

   robustirc-bridge  [-listen address] [-network address] [-socks address]
   [-tls_ca_file  path]   [-tls_cert_path   path]   [-tls_key_path   path]
   [-motd_path path]

DESCRIPTION

   robustirc-bridge  allows  you  to  connect to a RobustIRC network using
   your regular IRC client (such as irssi, WeeChat, XChat, etc).

   It can be used as a SOCKS proxy for IRC  clients  which  support  SOCKS
   proxies,  or  it  can be run for a specific RobustIRC network, in which
   case it will listen on a port (localhost:6667 by default) and talk IRC.

OPTIONS

   -listen address
          Listen on the provided address for IRC connections (in host:port
          format,   see   also  http://golang.org/pkg/net/#Dial  for  more
          details).

          -network must also be specified for -listen to have any effect.

   -network address
          When accepting new connections on the port specified by -listen,
          to which network should they be bridged? This is a DNS name such
          as "robustirc.net". The servers to connect to will  be  resolved
          by resolving the _robustirc._tcp SRV record for that DNS name.

          If  -network  is unspecified, -listen will not be used, and only
          the -socks functionality will be provided.

   -socks address
          Listen  on  the  provided  address  for  SOCKS  connections  (in
          host:port  format,  see also http://golang.org/pkg/net/#Dial for
          more details).

   -motd_path path
          Path to a text file containing the message of the day (MOTD)  to
          prefix to the network MOTD.

          The  default  MOTD  warns  people that they should run their own
          bridge instead of connecting, and you are  expected  to  specify
          -motd_path=  (i.e. empty) when starting the bridge in a scenario
          where you are the only user or all users run their IRC client on
          the same machine as the bridge.

   -tls_cert_path path
          Path   to  a  .pem  file  containing  the  TLS  certificate.  If
          unspecified, TLS is not used.

   -tls_key_path path
          Path  to  a  .pem  file  containing  the  TLS  private  key.  If
          unspecified, TLS is not used.

   -tls_ca_file path
          Use  the specified file as trusted CA instead of the system CAs.
          Useful for testing.
