mIRC ( Arabic: إم آي آر سي) is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client for Windows. It is a fully functional chat utility and its integrated scripting language makes it extensible and versatile. [3] The software was first released in 1995 and has since been described as "one of the most popular IRC clients available for Windows."
IRC ( Internet Relay Chat) is a text-based chat system for instant messaging. IRC is designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, [1] but also allows one-on-one communication via private messages [2] as well as chat and data transfer, [3] including file sharing.
This is a list of all Internet Relay Chat commands from RFC 1459, RFC 2812, and extensions added to major IRC daemons. Most IRC clients require commands to be preceded by a slash (" / "). Some commands are actually sent to IRC bots ; these are treated by the IRC protocol as ordinary messages, not as / -commands.
Visual IRC (ViRC) is an open-source Internet Relay Chat client for the Windows operating system. Unlike many other IRC clients , nearly all of the functionality in ViRC is driven by the included IRC script , with the result that the program's behavior can be extended or changed without altering the source code .
The Direct Client-to-Client Protocol (DCC) has been the primary method of establishing connections directly between IRC clients for a long time now. Once established, DCC connections bypass the IRC network and servers, allowing for all sorts of data to be transferred between clients including files and direct chat sessions.
IRCd. An IRCd, short for Internet Relay Chat daemon, is server software that implements the IRC protocol, enabling people to talk to each other via the Internet (exchanging textual messages in real time). [1] [2] It is distinct from an IRC bot that connects outbound to an IRC channel.
Freenode, stylized as freenode and formerly known as Open Projects Network, is an IRC network which was previously used to discuss peer-directed projects. [1] Their servers are accessible from the hostname chat.freenode.net, which load balances connections by using round-robin DNS.
mIRC scripting language uses its own nomenclature to refer to language constructs. (However, whilst this can be a little confusing to newcomers, they do not impact on the functionality of mSL.) Built-in functions are termed commands or, if they return a value, identifiers. Custom scripted functions are called aliases.
