iii is a frontend to ii/iim so that one can easily view and send messages.
it outputs text, formatted, and colored, and allows for some configuration.
options are passed as enviromental variables.
n: the user's nickname
i: the root directory [default: $HOME/irc]
s: the network in which the channel resides [default: irc.oftc.net]
c: the channel to interact with [default: none - the network view]
m: max length for nicks [default: 12]
h: the number of lines to include from history [default: 20]
r: randomization of nick colors
typical usage would be:
c=#suckless iii.sh
h=50 n=irc.freenode.net c=#musl iii.shto quit iii just send :q.
to mark the current spot on the conversation send :m.
to quit and mark send :x.
some common commands are supported,
like /op /deop /ban /unban /names /wi
tmiii is a wrapper to iii to spawn iii instances inside a tmux session named whose
name is IRC-$network, where $network is the name of the network that the channel is on,
with periods in the name replaced by slashes (as tmux uses a period character to denote
pane id). running tmiii on a channel on irc.freenode.net will spawn the iii instance
in a tmux session named IRC-irc/freenode/net. each iii instance inside tmux is in
its own window, named by the channel it shows. tmiii acceps the same env vars as iii
plus t to set the TERM variable, used by tmux.
l=false h=50 n=irc.freenode.net c=#cat-v tmiii.shnotifiii monitors a hierarchy of files and automatically spawns a terminal running iii
with the channel that got activity. notifiii by default ignores joins, parts, quits and
any message from the network (user -!-). notifiii accepts the irc root directory - by
default $HOME/irc - to monitor as an argument. if the network directory under the irc root
directory contains a file called nick (e.g. $HOME/irc/irc.freenode.net/nick), then
notifiii will set the nickname environment variable to the contents of this file (so that
different nicknames on different networks will be highlighted correctly).
