irssi: Open Irssi and connect to a server with a nickname.
$ irssi -n ${nickname} -c ${irc-example-com}
try on your machine

The command "irssi -n ${nickname} -c ${irc-example-com}" is used to launch the Irssi IRC client with specified settings.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "irssi": This is the executable command to launch the Irssi IRC client.

  • "-n ${nickname}": This option sets the desired nickname for connecting to the IRC server. The "${nickname}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual nickname you want to use.

  • "-c ${irc-example-com}": This option specifies the IRC server to connect to. Again, "${irc-example-com}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual IRC server you want to join.

Combining these elements, the command will launch Irssi with the provided nickname and attempt to connect to the specified IRC server.
