= net-irc
== Description
IRC library. This is mostly conform to RFC 1459 but partly not for convenience.
== Installation
=== Archive Installation
	rake install
=== Gem Installation
	gem install net-irc
== Features/Problems
* IRC client (for bot)
* IRC server (for gateway to webservices)
== Synopsis
=== Client
	require "net/irc"
	class SimpleClient < Net::IRC::Client
		def on_privmsg(m)
			super
			channel, message = *m
			if message =~ /Hello/
				post NOTICE, channel, "Hello!"
			end
		end
	end
Net::IRC::Client manages channel status and the information is set in @channels.
So, be careful to use @channels instance variable and call super surely.
=== Server
see example/tig.rb
== IRC Gateways
There are some gateways connecting to webservices.
