mub

mub - a minimalist cross-platform IRC client

This is a small, bare-bones IRC client.

It's marginally usable in itself with a readline-like user interface.

If it is started with the -sub flag it can be used to create the core of an IRC client with a richer user interfaces in front of it, connected to stdout and stdin.

To connect to a server, use

/tlsconnect server:port nick

or /connect for unencrypted connections.

Configuration file

There is a sample configuration file with comments in mub.yaml.sample.
