Description

       irk is a simple test program for irkerd(8). It will construct a simple JSON object and pass it to the
       daemon running on localhost.

Limitations

       irk has no commandline usage and may be riddled with bugs.

       irk doesn't know how to talk to your favorite VCS. You will generally want to use irkerhook(1) instead

       irk has also all the limitations of irkerd.

           prefix "irc://chat.freenode.net/" to the argument before passing it directly to irkerd. This argument
           is passed as the "to" parameter in the JSON object.

       message
           Which message to send to the target specified above. If the string "-", the message will be read from
           standard input, with newlines stripped.
