The ircclient from ind3p3nd3nt

ircclient's Introduction

Simple cross-platform Console IRC Client

Windows	Linux	Azure (Linux/macOS)

It works on windows and linux (haven't tested on mac)
Can be used as an IRC bot
It has a simple hook system where you can do whatever you want when receiving an IRC command.
Example in Main.cpp

Hooking IRC commands:

First create a function (name it whatever you want) with two arguments, an IRCMessage and a pointer to IRCClient:

void onPrivMsg(IRCMessage message, IRCClient* client)
{
    // Check who can "control" us
    if (message.prefix.nick != "YourNick")
        return;
    
    // received text
    std::string text = message.parameters.at(message.parameters.size() - 1);
    
    if (text == "join #channel")
        client->SendIRC("JOIN #channel");
    if (text == "leave #channel")
        client->SendIRC("PART #channel");
    if (text == "quit now")
        client->SendIRC("QUIT");
}

Then, after you create the IRCClient instance, you can hook it:

IRCClient client;

// Hook PRIVMSG
client.HookIRCCommand("PRIVMSG", &onPrivMsg);

Building on windows with Mingw:

Edit Makefile
Replace "-lpthread" with "-lws2_32" (no quotes) in LDFLAGS on line 3.
Add ".exe" extension (no quotes) to the EXECUTABLE filename (line 8).
