+.TH ircflush 1 "September 2021" "ircII @VERSION@" "SlackBuilds.org"
+.SH NAME
+ircflush \- a little program that tricks another program into line buffering its output
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ircflush
+.RB [ program ]
+.RB [ arguments to program
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+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.
+.P
+This program is intended as a 'helper' for ircII scripts.

+.TH ircio 1 "September 2021" "ircII @VERSION@" "SlackBuilds.org"
+.SH NAME
+ircio \- A quaint little program to make irc life PING free
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+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.
+.P
+.B ircio
+is not intended to be run by itself. It's started by ircII's -S command\-line
+option.
+.P
+.SH BUGS
+.B ircio
+doesn't work at all with SSL\-enabled IRC connections. It also
+doesn't work properly with the
+.B libera.chat
+network even without SSL: you can connect, but you'll get disconnected
+before the MOTD is sent.
+.P
+There are better ways to solve the problem
+.B ircio
+solves, such as
+.BR screen (1),
+.BR tmux (1),
+or just multiple X terminals. There's no need to suspend
+.B ircII
+in such environments.

+.TH wserv 1 "September 2021" "ircII @VERSION@" "SlackBuilds.org"
+.SH NAME
+wserv \- little program that acts as a pipe between a screen or xterm window to the calling ircII process
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B wserv
+.RB [ /path/to/socket ]
+.RB [ /path/to/control ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Works by opening up the unix domain socket that ircII binds
+before calling wserv, and which ircII also deletes after the
+connection has been made.
+.P
+.B wserv
+is not useful by itself. It gets run as needed by ircII when the
+.B /window create
+command is executed.
