irssi: Open Irssi and connect with a specific server on a given port.

irssi

$ irssi -c ${irc-example-com} -p ${port}

try on your machine

This command is invoking the irssi program, which is a popular command-line IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client.

The options used with this command are:

-c ${irc-example-com}: It connects to the IRC server specified after -c. ${irc-example-com} is a placeholder, and it should be replaced with the actual address of the IRC server you want to connect to. For example, if you want to connect to the IRC server at irc.example.com, you would replace ${irc-example-com} with irc.example.com.
-p ${port}: This option specifies the port number to connect to on the IRC server. ${port} is a placeholder for the actual port number. You should replace it with the appropriate port number. The IRC protocol commonly uses port 6667, so if you want to connect using this default port, ${port} should be replaced with 6667.

In summary, this command initiates an irssi session connecting to a specified IRC server and port.
