ErlIRC is a framework for writing IRC clients, servers, proxies and bots in Erlang.
Run erl -name erlirc -pa ebin and run the following commands in
the erlang shell:
([email protected])1> irc_app:start(). <SASL reports snipped> ([email protected])2> {ok, Server} = irc_sup:start_server("localnet","localhost"). <SASL reports snipped> {ok,<0.54.0>} ([email protected])3> irc_server:listen(Server, 16667). {ok,<0.56.0>}
Then from another bash console, telnet to the new server and send it IRC commands:
telnet localhost 16667 NICK test USER test test localhost :Test User JOIN :#test
Run erl -name client -pa ebin and run the following commands in
the erlang shell:
([email protected])1> {ok, C} = irc_client_fsm:start_link("erlirc","localhost", 16667). {ok,<0.61.0>} =INFO REPORT==== 7-Nov-2008::17:54:26 === (<0.61.0> irc_client_fsm:149) :localhost 001 erlirc :Welcome to the Internet Relay Network [email protected] =INFO REPORT==== 7-Nov-2008::17:54:26 === (<0.61.0> irc_client_fsm:157) :localhost 002 erlirc :Your host is localhost, running version erlirc-0.1 =INFO REPORT==== 7-Nov-2008::17:54:26 === (<0.61.0> irc_client_fsm:157) :localhost 003 erlirc :This server was created 2008-11-07T16:54:26+00 =INFO REPORT==== 7-Nov-2008::17:54:26 === (<0.61.0> irc_client_fsm:157) :localhost 004 erlirc localhost erlirc-0.1 aios biklImnoPstv =INFO REPORT==== 7-Nov-2008::17:54:26 === (<0.61.0> irc_client_fsm:153) :localhost 422 erlirc :NOMOTD
Note that the erlirc server and client don't quite agree enough at the moment to successfully join channels.
