fn is_closed(&self) -> bool

Check if the connection was manually closed.

fn close(&self) -> Result<(), Error>

Close the connection and stop listening for messages.

There will not be any reconnection attempt. An error will be returned if the connection is already closed.

fn raw<S: AsRef<str>>(&self, data: S) -> Result<(), Error>

Send a raw string to the IRC server.

A new line will be not be added, so make sure that you include it. An error will be returned if the client is disconnected.
