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.
