ircprobe

ircprobe

A small line-based IRC client.

For IRC developers

Download and install this tool:

cargo install ircprobe
# more installation methods to be added

Connect to a server:

ircprobe localhost:6667
>

Now you can enter commands (try CAP LS), and you should be able to see any responses from the server.

For end users

This is a client mainly designed for quick manual debugging of IRC servers. It therefore doesn't really lend itself to being "useable", sorry!
