NAME¶

quassel - manual page for quassel v0.14.0 (dist-da9c1c9)

SYNOPSIS¶

quasselcore [options]

DESCRIPTION¶

Quassel IRC is a modern, distributed IRC client. One (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central core -- much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC client such as WeeChat, but graphical.
