1 Hello 2 ===== 3 circo is a small IRC client for the terminal. It provides a list of views 4 (buffers) to differentiate between channels, users, and other messages. Each 5 buffer has its own input text while other relevant informations such as server 6 and nickname are always visible at the top. 7 8 Despite it's minimal design, circo is definitely not a suckless piece of code. 9 It don't even follows in all respect the UNIX philosophy but it provides a very 10 power bridge to the IRC servers with a such small code base. In this regard 11 circo is unique. 12 13 Altough it's compactness, circo is a powerful tool with almost all the features 14 one would expect from an IRC client for the console: 15 16 - UTF-8 support 17 - Colors support 18 - Tab completion 19 - One screen per chan/user 20 - Infinite scrolling 21 - Resize handling 22 - Commands history 23 - Raw IRC commands 24 25 None of the CTCP specification has been (nor will be) implemented, which means 26 no DCC at all. In other words: direct chat and files sending are not available. 27 28 Status 29 ====== 30 Some refactor and cleanups are needed but it's mostly working. 31 32 The circo IRC client is actively developed and I'm having a lot of fun in 33 writing it. If you'll also find yourself having fun with circo, please consider 34 submitting a pull request.
