How do I close a window?
The /clear command will dispose of unwanted windows.
How do I quit?
Use /exit. There are a few related commands: /exit exits the client, /quit sends a QUIT command to an IRC server and is used for graceful disconnection. /disconnect immediately closes the connection socket.
What are these red x and green + characters next to people's nicknames in channel?
glirc collapses metadata to avoid allowing it to dominate the channel. Joins are indicated with +, parts with - and quits with x. To see more detail toggle the detail view with the F2 key.
Why did my IRC connection immediate close upon opening?
Make sure that you're not connecting to a TLS enabled port without setting tls: yes in your configuration for that server. The port 6667 is common for unencrypted IRC and 6697 is common for TLS-enabled IRC.
What are the configuration file fields?
Run glirc2 --config-format to see all of the available configuration file fields.
glirc is built around a philosophy that the client maintains a model of the IRC connection state and provides various views of that model. These views generally do not modify the underlying model. This means that operations like filtering, viewing the user list or ban list, or error messages do not get added to various windows but are provided in dynamic views.
