-# utils
-
-Some simple scripts that can make irc-chatdir a friendly option for a client.
-
-## chatdir-in.sh
-Messages are sent, in chatdir, via .in/ directories under each channel's dir.
-The file can be named whatever, it just has to be a text-file, and it'll be
-sent. But `$ echo "Hi there!" > #general/.in/msg` is annoying.
-
-This is a wrapper around that. It will send whatever you type to the selected
-channel; selecting a channel is done by just typing a channel name verbatim.
-There is auto-completion for nicks and channel-names.
-
-You might run it like, `$ chatdir-in.sh ~/chat/libera.chat/`
-
-
-## irc_file_notify.sh
-Sends a pretty notification (with icon, sender, and message text!) whenever a
-message is sent. You might run like, `$ irc_file_notify.sh ~/chat/libera.chat/*`
-
-
-## proc_notify.sh
-Displays a warning notifcation when irc-chatdir dies.  
-You might run like, `$ proc_notify.sh irc-chatd.scm.*leagueh`
