521 @cindex connecting | |
522 | |
523 The easiest way to connect to an IRC server is to call | |
524 @kbd{M-x erc-select}. If you want to assign this function to a | |
525 keystroke, the following will help you figure out its parameters. | |
526 | |
527 @defun erc-select | |
528 Select connection parameters and run ERC. | |
529 Non-interactively, it takes the following keyword arguments. | |
530 | |
531 @itemize @bullet | |
532 @item @var{server} | |
533 @item @var{port} | |
534 @item @var{nick} | |
535 @item @var{password} | |
536 @item @var{full-name} | |
537 @end itemize | |
538 | |
539 That is, if called with the following arguments, @var{server} and | |
540 @var{full-name} will be set to those values, whereas | |
541 @code{erc-compute-port}, @code{erc-compute-nick} and | |
542 @code{erc-compute-full-name} will be invoked for the values of the other | |
543 parameters. | |
544 | |
545 @example | |
546 (erc-select :server "irc.freenode.net" :full-name "Harry S Truman") | |
547 @end example | |
548 @end defun | |
549 | |
550 @subheading Server | |
551 | |
552 @defun erc-compute-server &optional server | |
553 Return an IRC server name. | |
554 | |
555 This tries a number of increasingly more default methods until a non-nil | |
556 value is found. | |
557 | |
558 @itemize @bullet | |
559 @item @var{server} (the argument passed to this function) | |
560 @item The @code{erc-server} option | |
561 @item The value of the IRCSERVER environment variable | |
562 @item The @code{erc-default-server} variable | |
563 @end itemize | |
564 | |
565 @end defun | |
566 | |
567 @defopt erc-server nil | |
568 IRC server to use if one is not provided. | |
569 @end defopt | |
570 | |
571 @subheading Port | |
572 | |
573 @defun erc-compute-port &optional port | |
574 Return a port for an IRC server. | |
575 | |
576 This tries a number of increasingly more default methods until a non-nil | |
577 value is found. | |
578 | |
579 @itemize @bullet | |
580 @item @var{port} (the argument passed to this function) | |
581 @item The @code{erc-port} option | |

599 non-nil value is found. | |

610 @defopt erc-nick | |
611 Nickname to use if one is not provided. | |
612 | |
613 This can be either a string, or a list of strings. | |
614 In the latter case, if the first nick in the list is already in use, | |
615 other nicks are tried in the list order. | |
616 @end defopt | |
617 | |
618 @defopt erc-nick-uniquifier | |
619 The string to append to the nick if it is already in use. | |
620 @end defopt | |
621 | |
622 @defopt erc-try-new-nick-p | |
623 If the nickname you chose isn't available, and this option is non-nil, | |
624 ERC should automatically attempt to connect with another nickname. | |
625 | |
626 You can manually set another nickname with the /NICK command. | |

71883 | 746 In reaction to a mail about the new ERC development effort, Sergey |
747 Berezin said, ``First of all, I'm glad that my version of ERC is being | |
748 used out there. The thing is, I do not have free time and enough | |
749 incentive anymore to work on ERC, so I would be happy if you guys take | |
750 over the project entirely.'' | |

755 Most of the development of the new ERC happened on #emacs on |
71883 | 756 irc.openprojects.net. Over time, many people contributed code, ideas, |
757 bugfixes, and a lot of alpha/beta/gamma testing. | |
