--- LuaIRC is a low-level IRC library for Lua.

--<code>
--require "irc"<br/>
--local sleep = require "socket".sleep<br/>
--<br/>
--local s = irc.new{nick = "example"}<br/>
--<br/>
--s:hook("OnChat", function(user, channel, message)<br/>
-- print(("[%s] %s: %s"):format(channel, user.nick, message))<br/>

module "irc"
--- Create a new IRC object.
-- The <code>user</code> parameter can contain fields <code>nick</code>, <code>username</code> and <code>realname</code>.
-- The <code>nick</code> field is required.
-- Returns a new <code>irc</code> object.
function new(user)
--- Hooks function <code>f</code> to event <code>name</code>, with the unique tag <code>id</code>.
-- If parameter <code>f</code> is absent, <code>id</code> is assumed to be both the callback function and unique tag.
function irc:hook(name, id, f)
--- Removes previous hooked callback with the tag <code>id</code> from event <code>name</code>.
function irc:unhook(name, id)
--internal
function irc:invoke(name, ...)
--- Connects <code>irc</code> to <code>server:port</code>, with the connection timeout value <code>timeout</code>.
function irc:connect(server, port, timeout)
--- Disconnects <code>irc</code> from the server, with the quit message <code>message</code>.
function irc:disconnect(message)
--internal
function irc:shutdown()
--- Handles incoming data for <code>irc</code>, and invokes previously hooked callbacks based on the new server input.
-- You should call this in some kind of main loop, or at least often enough not to time out.
function irc:think()
--internal
function irc:handle(prefix, cmd, params)
--- Sends a WHOIS lookup request for <code>nick</code>.
-- Returns a table with the fields <code>userinfo</code>, <code>node</code>, <code>channels</code> and <code>account</code>.
function irc:whois(nick)
--- Sends a raw line of IRC to the server.
-- <code>fmt</code> is the line to be sent, without the newline characters.
-- <code>fmt</code> can be a format string taking the parameters <code>...</code>, with <code>string.format</code> semantics.
function irc:send(fmt, ...)
--- Sends the message <code>msg</code> to <code>target</code>.
-- <code>target</code> should be either a channel or nick.
function irc:sendChat(target, msg)
--- Sends the notice <code>msg</code> to <code>target</code>.
-- <code>target</code> should be either a channel or nick.
function irc:sendNotice(target, msg)
--- Joins <code>channel</code>, optionally with the channel password <code>key</code>.
function irc:join(channel, key)
--- Leaves <code>channel</code>.
function irc:part(channel)
--- Specifies whether to cache user information or not with the boolean <code>b</code>.
function irc:trackUsers(b)
--- Adds and/or removes modes for a channel or nick.
-- Either <code>t.target</code> or <code>t.nick</code> specifies the channel or nick to add/remove modes.
-- <code>t.add</code> is a list of modes to add to the target.
-- <code>t.rem</code> is a list of modes to remove from the target.
-- Example which sets +m (moderated) for #channel: <code>irc:setMode{target = "#channel", add = "m"}</code>
function irc:setMode(t)
