Ircfs is a file service used to connect to an IRC network

go install github.com/altid/ircfs/cmd/ircfs@latest

ircfs [-s <servicename>] [-d] [-a <address to bind to>] [-m]

• -m broadcasts an mDNS record for the service
• -d enables debug output
• if no service name is given, irc is used
• Address is the address that the host binds to, not the address of your IRC network!
