--- LuaIRC is a low-level IRC library for Lua. -- All functions raise Lua exceptions on error. -- -- Use new to create a new IRC object.
-- Example:

-- --require "irc"
--local sleep = require "socket".sleep
--
--local s = irc.new{nick = "example"}
--
--s:hook("OnChat", function(user, channel, message)
-- print(("[%s] %s: %s"):format(channel, user.nick, message))
--end)
--
--s:connect("irc.example.net")
--s:join("#example")
--
--while true do
-- s:think()
-- sleep(0.5)
--end

module "irc" --- Create a new IRC object. Use irc:connect to connect to a server. -- @param user Table with fields nick, username and realname. -- The nick field is required. -- -- @return Returns a new irc object. function new(user) --- Hook a function to an event. -- @param name Name of event. -- @param id Unique tag. -- @param f Callback function. [defaults to id] -- @see Hooks function irc:hook(name, id, f) --- Remove previous hooked callback. -- @param name Name of event. -- @param id Unique tag. function irc:unhook(name, id) --- Connect irc to an IRC server. -- @param server Server address. -- @param port Server port. [default 6667] -- @param timeout Connection timeout value in seconds. [default 30] function irc:connect(server, port, timeout) --- Disconnect irc from the server. -- @param message Quit message. function irc:disconnect(message) --- Handle incoming data for irc, and invoke previously hooked callbacks based on new server input. -- You should call this in some kind of main loop, or at least often enough to not time out. function irc:think() --- Look up user info. -- @param nick Nick of user to query. -- @return Table with fields userinfo, node, channels and account. function irc:whois(nick) --- Look up topic. -- Use this to invoke the hooks OnTopic and OnTopicInfo at any time. -- @param channel Channel to query. function irc:topic(channel) --- Send a raw line of IRC to the server. -- @param fmt Line to be sent, excluding newline characters. -- @param ... Format parameters for fmt, with string.format semantics. function irc:send(fmt, ...) --- Send a message to a channel or user. -- @param target Nick or channel to send to. -- @param message Message to send. function irc:sendChat(target, message) --- Send a notice to a channel or user. -- @param target Nick or channel to send to. -- @param message Notice to send. function irc:sendNotice(target, message) --- Join a channel. -- @param channel Channel to join. -- @param key Channel password. [optional] function irc:join(channel, key) --- Leave a channel. -- @param channel Channel to leave. function irc:part(channel) --- Turn user information tracking on or off. User tracking is enabled by default. -- @param b Boolean whether or not to track user information. function irc:trackUsers(b) --- Add/remove modes for a channel or nick. -- @param t Table with fields target, nick, add and/or rem. target or nick -- specifies the user or channel to add/remove modes. add is a list of modes to add to the user or channel. -- rem is a list of modes to remove from the user or channel. -- @usage Example which sets +m (moderated) for #channel:
-- irc:setMode{target = "#channel", add = "m"} function irc:setMode(t) --internal function irc:invoke(name, ...) function irc:handle(prefix, cmd, params) function irc:shutdown() --- List of hooks you can use with irc:hook. The parameter list describes the parameters passed to the callback function. -- -- * Event also invoked for yourself. -- † Channel passed only when user tracking is enabled -- @name Hooks -- @class table --- Table with information about a user. -- -- Apart from nick, fields may be missing. To fill them in, enable user tracking and use irc:whois. -- @name User -- @class table
