IRC client library, supporting Lwt and Unix blocking IO.
To run tests:
The latest tagged version is available via opam: opam install irc-client
Simple bot which connects to a channel, sends a message, and then logs all messages in that channel to stdout:
open Lwt module C = Irc_client_lwt let host = "localhost" let port = 6667 let realname = "Demo IRC bot" let nick = "demoirc" let username = nick let channel = "#demo_irc" let message = "Hello, world! This is a test from ocaml-irc-client" let callback _connection result = let open Irc_message in match result with | Result.Ok msg -> Lwt_io.printf "Got message: %s\n" (to_string msg) | Result.Error e -> Lwt_io.printl e let lwt_main = Lwt_unix.gethostbyname host >>= fun he -> C.connect ~addr:(he.Lwt_unix.h_addr_list.(0)) ~port ~username ~mode:0 ~realname ~nick () >>= fun connection -> Lwt_io.printl "Connected" >>= fun () -> C.send_join ~connection ~channel >>= fun () -> C.send_privmsg ~connection ~target:channel ~message >>= fun () -> C.listen ~connection ~callback () >>= fun () -> C.send_quit ~connection let _ = Lwt_main.run lwt_mainCompile the above with:
ocamlfind ocamlopt -package irc-client.lwt -linkpkg code.ml Alternatively, you can find it at examples/example1.ml; enable its compilation with ./configure --enable-examples --enable-lwt.
