Hey all,
I've written a tiny (90 SLOC) tool for connecting to an IRC server and
streaming the connection over stdin/stdout, while responding to (and
filtering out) pings. I just wrote this so I could write simpler IRC
bots without having to worry about TCP, pings, or having to reconnect
every time I want to re-exec when I update the bot. The auto-ping also
works well for logging. I don't know, it might come in handy for
someone.
How does it compare to the other two suckless minimalist IRC tools?:
http://tools.suckless.org/sic - simple IRC client - ~250 SLOC
http://tools.suckless.org/ii/ - IRC It - ~500 SLOC
I haven't used any of them, but it sounds like yours does roughly the
same thing `sic` does. (Auto-ping is different?)
