526 @cindex connecting | |
527 | |
74093 | 528 The easiest way to connect to an IRC server is to call @kbd{M-x erc}. |
529 If you want to assign this function to a keystroke, the following will | |
530 help you figure out its parameters. | |
71883 | 531 |
74093 | 532 @defun erc |
71883 | 533 Select connection parameters and run ERC. |
534 Non-interactively, it takes the following keyword arguments. | |
535 | |
536 @itemize @bullet | |
537 @item @var{server} | |
538 @item @var{port} | |
539 @item @var{nick} | |
540 @item @var{password} | |
541 @item @var{full-name} | |
542 @end itemize | |
543 | |
544 That is, if called with the following arguments, @var{server} and | |
545 @var{full-name} will be set to those values, whereas | |
546 @code{erc-compute-port}, @code{erc-compute-nick} and | |
547 @code{erc-compute-full-name} will be invoked for the values of the other | |
548 parameters. | |
549 | |
550 @example | |
74093 | 551 (erc :server "irc.freenode.net" :full-name "Harry S Truman") |
71883 | 552 @end example |
553 @end defun | |
554 | |
555 @subheading Server | |
556 | |
557 @defun erc-compute-server &optional server | |
558 Return an IRC server name. | |
559 | |
560 This tries a number of increasingly more default methods until a non-nil | |
561 value is found. | |
562 | |
563 @itemize @bullet | |
564 @item @var{server} (the argument passed to this function) | |
565 @item The @code{erc-server} option | |
566 @item The value of the IRCSERVER environment variable | |
567 @item The @code{erc-default-server} variable | |
568 @end itemize | |
569 | |
570 @end defun | |
571 | |
572 @defopt erc-server nil | |
573 IRC server to use if one is not provided. | |
574 @end defopt | |
575 | |
576 @subheading Port | |
577 | |
578 @defun erc-compute-port &optional port | |
579 Return a port for an IRC server. | |
580 | |
581 This tries a number of increasingly more default methods until a non-nil | |
582 value is found. | |
583 | |
584 @itemize @bullet | |
585 @item @var{port} (the argument passed to this function) | |
586 @item The @code{erc-port} option | |

599 | |
600 @defun erc-compute-nick &optional nick | |

604 non-nil value is found. | |

615 @defopt erc-nick | |
616 Nickname to use if one is not provided. | |
617 | |
618 This can be either a string, or a list of strings. | |
619 In the latter case, if the first nick in the list is already in use, | |
620 other nicks are tried in the list order. | |
621 @end defopt | |
622 | |

624 The string to append to the nick if it is already in use. | |

628 If the nickname you chose isn't available, and this option is non-nil, | |
629 ERC should automatically attempt to connect with another nickname. | |
630 | |
631 You can manually set another nickname with the /NICK command. | |

71883 | 751 In reaction to a mail about the new ERC development effort, Sergey |
752 Berezin said, ``First of all, I'm glad that my version of ERC is being | |
753 used out there. The thing is, I do not have free time and enough | |
754 incentive anymore to work on ERC, so I would be happy if you guys take | |
755 over the project entirely.'' | |

760 Most of the development of the new ERC happened on #emacs on |
71883 | 761 irc.openprojects.net. Over time, many people contributed code, ideas, |
