irc

A thread-safe IRC library in Rust based on iterators. It's hopefully compliant with RFC 2812. You can find up-to-date, ready-to-use documentation online here. The documentation is generated using both the SSL feature and the encode feature. Specifically, the signatures of irc::conn::Connection::send(...) and irc::conn::Connection::recv(...) will be different by default.

Getting Started

To start using this library with cargo, you can simply add irc = "*" to your dependencies to your Cargo.toml file. From there, you can look to the examples and the documentation to see how to proceed. Making a simple bot is easy though:

extern crate irc;

use irc::server::{IrcServer, Server};
use irc::server::utils::Wrapper;

fn main() {
    let irc_server = IrcServer::new("config.json").unwrap();
    let server = Wrapper::new(&irc_server);
    server.identify().unwrap();
    for message in server.iter() {
        // Do message processing.
    }
}
