Detailed Description

IRC messages are received from an IRC server. IrcConnection translates received messages into IrcMessage instances and emits the IrcConnection::messageReceived() signal upon message received.

Subclasses of IrcMessage contain specialized accessors for parameters that are specific to the particular type of message. See IrcMessage::Type for the list of supported message types.

Member Function Documentation

QByteArray IrcMessage::encoding ( ) const

This property holds the FALLBACK encoding for the message.

The fallback encoding is used when the message is detected not to be valid UTF-8 and the consequent auto-detection of message encoding fails. See QTextCodec::availableCodes() for the list of supported encodings.

The default value is ISO-8859-15.

Access functions:

IrcConnection connection 
)
static

Creates a new message from data and connection.

IrcMessage * IrcMessage::fromParameters ( const QString prefix,
const QString command,
const QStringList parameters,
IrcConnection connection 
)
static

Creates a new message from prefix, command and parameters with connection.

QByteArray IrcMessage::toData ( ) const

Returns the message as received from an IRC server.
