Module const_irc_message_parser::source

Methods for parsing and extracting information from Source.

Purpose

Source is part of the IRC Message Protocol. The Source occurs after the Tags and before the Command. Since Tags are optional it is possible for the Source to be the first component of an IrcMsg. It identifies the Origin of where the message was generated. IRC servers are always responsible for generating the Source on behalf of the client and can choose whether or not to send it with an IrcMsg. IRC clients must never include the Source when sending an IrcMsg but must be able to process every IrcMsg with or without Source.

Structs

• Nickname
  The nickname and possibly user and host details where the IrcMsg originated from.
• Servername
  The name of the server where the IrcMsg originated from.
• Source
  The source of an IrcMsg.

Enums

• Origin
  Indicates where the IrcMsg was originally generated.
• SourceError
  The possible types of errors when parsing Source.
