# irc [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/aaronweiss74/irc.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/aaronweiss74/irc) #
A thread-safe IRC library in Rust based on iterators. It's hopefully compliant with
[RFC 2812](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812). You can find up-to-date, ready-to-use documentation
online [here](http://aaronweiss74.github.io/irc/irc/). 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:
```rust
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.
}
}
```
