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.

override

Destructs the message.

Member Function Documentation

◆ account()

QString IrcMessage::account ( ) const

Since: 3.4

This property holds the services account of the message sender.

Note: Only set if the account-tag capability is enabled and the user has identified with services.

Access function:

QString account() const

See also: IRCv3 support

◆ clone()

◆ encoding()

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:

QByteArray encoding() const
void setEncoding(const QByteArray& encoding)

See also: QTextCodec::availableCodecs(), QTextCodec::codecForLocale()

◆ flags()

IrcMessage::Flags IrcMessage::flags ( ) const

This property holds the message flags.

Access function:

IrcMessage::Flags flags() const
void setFlags(IrcMessage::Flags flags) (Since 3.2)

See also: testFlag(), setFlag()

◆ fromData()

		IrcConnection *	connection
	)

static

Creates a new message from data and connection.

◆ fromParameters()

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.

◆ host()
