Ircfs is a file service used to connect to an IRC network

Usage

Address is the address that the host binds to, not the address of your IRC network!

- cert uses the values provided for cert= and key= to use certificate based authenticationover a TLS connection to the remote server
nick, user, and name are your respective nickname, username that you registered to the IRC server, and your real name (optional)
log is the directory that stores channel logs. A special value of none can be used to bypass logging
