irccat - clients

Real world usage.

official clients

The official clients arent in the 0.2.0 package, so you need to install them with the standalone package: gem install irc_cat_clients.

configuration

Create .irccat.yml in your home directory (~)
Add a profile in this file. The default profile is called 'default'.

Example profile:

default:
  host: 127.0.0.1
  port: 4849

icat

It's the `cat` clone for irccat. It's accepts files or STDIN.
Params: -p profile_name

Examples:

  $ ls | icat                # Sends the output of `ls` to the default profile
  $ icat config.yml          # Sends the content of config.yml to the default profile
  $ icat hello.txt hai.txt   # Sends the contents of hello.txt and hai.txt to the default profile
  $ ls | icat -p haycat      # Sends the output of `ls` to the 'haycat' profile
  $ icat <<< "HAI"           # Sends HAI to the default profile. Useless, use iecho instead

iecho

Like icat, it's the `echo` clone for irccat.
Params: -p profile_name

Examples:

  $ iecho "HAI2U!1"          # Sends HAI2U!1 to the default profile
  $ iecho -p haycat "HAI"    # Sends HAI to the haycat profile
