Linux                                             JANUARY 2015                               robustirc-bridge(1)

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.

-listenaddress
              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.

       -networkaddress
              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.

       -socksaddress
              Listen  on  the  provided  address  for  SOCKS  connections  (in  host:port   format,   see   also
              http://golang.org/pkg/net/#Dial for more details).

       -motd_pathpath
              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_pathpath
              Path to a .pem file containing the TLS certificate. If unspecified, TLS is not used.

       -tls_key_pathpath
              Path to a .pem file containing the TLS private key. If unspecified, TLS is not used.

       -tls_ca_filepath
              Use the specified file as trusted CA instead of the system CAs. Useful for testing.
