erc

erc is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `erc.el'.


(erc &key (SERVER (erc-compute-server)) (PORT (erc-compute-port)) (NICK (erc-compute-nick)) PASSWORD (FULL-NAME (erc-compute-full-name)))

ERC is a powerful, modular, and extensible IRC client.
This function is the main entry point for ERC.

It permits you to select connection parameters, and then starts ERC.

Non-interactively, it takes the keyword arguments
(server (erc-compute-server))
(port (erc-compute-port))
(nick (erc-compute-nick))
password
(full-name (erc-compute-full-name)))

That is, if called with

(erc :server "irc.freenode.net" :full-name "Harry S Truman")

then the server and full-name will be set to those values, whereas
`erc-compute-port', `erc-compute-nick' and `erc-compute-full-name' will
be invoked for the values of the other parameters.
