IRC Client Config

Config values

Have the following values handy before configuring your IRC client.

• <host>, the host irslackd is running on, localhost unless you're running it remotely.
• <port>, the port irslackd is listening on, 6697 by default.
• <ssl-fingerprint>, the TLS cert fingerprint from step 3 in the README.
• <xoxp-token>, the Slack API access token from step 5 in the README.

Optional Preferences

The following preferences can be appended to <xoxp-token>. For example, to disable reactions and threads, use <xoxp-token> no-reactions no-threads instead of <xoxp-token>.

• no-reactions disable reactions
• no-threads disable threads
• debug-chan join the debug channel +irslackd at connect time which prints errors
