ircII
Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template other Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".Script error: No such module "Check for conflicting parameters". ircII (pronounced i-r-c-two or irk-two,[1][2] and sometimes referred to as IRC client, second edition[3]) is a free, open-source Unix IRC and ICB client written in C. Initially released in the late 1980s, it is the oldest IRC client still maintained.[4][5]
History
Several other UNIX IRC clients, including BitchX, EPIC, and ScrollZ, were originally forks of ircII. It was the first client to implement file transfer capabilities over IRC.[6] The CTCP protocol was implemented by Michael Sandrof in 1990 for version 2.1.[7] The DCC protocol was implemented by Troy Rollo in 1991 for version 2.1.2,[8] and was never intended to be portable to other IRC clients.[9][10]
Features
ircII is written in the C programming language and implements a termcap, text-mode, user interface. Encrypted Transport Layer Security connections to IRC servers are established with the OpenSSL library. [11] The concept of file transfers over IRC networks was first implemented by the authors of ircII. The client was the first to implement both the Client-to-client protocol (CTCP) and the Direct Client-to-Client (DCC) protocol. The application has been promoted as being "fast, stable, lightweight, portable, and easily backgrounded." [12]
