4.5 Defining a new command

Here’s a simple new command, /sv. With it, you can boast about your IRC client. It shows how you can use rcirc-define-command to define new commands.

We’re waiting for the definition of this command until rcirc is loaded because rcirc-define-command is not yet available, and without rcirc loaded, the command wouldn’t do us much good anyway.

(with-eval-after-load 'rcirc
 (rcirc-define-command sv ()
 "Boast about rcirc."
 (interactive "i")
 (rcirc-send-message process target "I use " rcirc-id-string)))
