Bug#721958: ircii: missing man pages for ircflush ircio wserv
selections from source/ircflush.c:
* a little program that tricks another program in to line buffering its output.
"Usage: %s [program] [arguments to program]\n"
* What's the deal here? Well, it's like this. First we find an open
* tty/pty pair. Then we fork three processes. The first reads from stdin
* and sends the info to the master device. The next process reads from the
* master device and sends stuff to stdout. The last processes is the rest
* of the command line arguments exec'd. By doing all this, the exec'd
* process is fooled into flushing each line of output as it occurs.
selections from source/ircio.c:
* A quaint little program to make irc life PING free
* ircio: This little program connects to the server (given as arg 1) on
* the given port (given as arg 2). It then accepts input from stdin and
* sends it to that server. Likewise, it reads stuff sent from the server and
* sends it to stdout. Simple? Yes, it is. But wait! There's more! It
* also intercepts server PINGs and automatically responds to them. This
* frees up the process that starts ircio (such as IRCII) to pause without
* fear of being pooted off the net.
selections from source/wserv.c
* ./wserv /path/to/socket /path/to/control
* wserv.c - little program to be a pipe between a screen or
* xterm window to the calling ircII process.
* Works by opening up the unix domain socket that ircII bind's
* before calling wserv, and which ircII also deleted after the
* connection has been made.
