Package: libircclient1 (1.9-1)

C library to create IRC clients

libircclient is a small but powerful library that implements the client-server IRC protocol. It is designed to be small, fast, portable and compatible to RFC standards, and most IRC clients. libircclient features include:

 * Full multi-threading support.
 * Single threads handles all the IRC processing.
 * Support for single-threaded applications, and socket-based applications,
   which use select()
 * Synchronous and asynchronous interfaces.
 * CTCP support with optional build-in reply code.
 * Flexible DCC support, including both DCC chat, and DCC file transfer.
 * Can both initiate and react to initiated DCC.
 * Can accept or decline DCC sessions asynchronously.
 * Plain C interface and implementation (possible to use from C++ code,
   obviously)
 * Compatible with RFC 1459 and most IRC clients.
 * Good documentation and examples available.
