FT_IRC

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a protocol for real-time text messaging between internet-connected computers created in 1988. It is mainly used for group discussion in chat rooms called “channels” although it supports private messages between two users, data transfer, and various server-side and client-side commands. As of April 2011, the top 100 IRC networks served over 500,000 users at a time on hundreds of thousands of channels.

COMMAND DESCRIPTION
Join The JOIN command indicates that the client wants to join the given channel(s), each channel using the given key for it.
Kick The KICK command can be used to request the forced removal of a user from a channel. This command can only be used by the channel's administrator.
Privmsg The PRIVMSG command is used to send private messages between users, as well as to send messages to channels.
Quit The QUIT command is used to terminate a client’s connection to the server.
Topic The TOPIC command is used to modify or view the topic of the specified channel. This command can only be used by the channel's administrator.
Notice The NOTICE command is used to send notices between users, as well as to send notices to channels. The difference between NOTICE and PRIVMSG is that automatic replies must never be sent in response to a NOTICE message.
Nick The NICK command is used to give the client a nickname or change the previous one.
User The USER command is used at the beginning of a connection to specify the username and realname of a new user.
Part The PART command removes the client from the given channel(s).
Who The WHO command shows who is in the channel entered as a parameter.
Pass The PASS command compares a new user's password with the server's password and if it is correct, it successfully connects to the server.
