前言

IRC是什么?
IRC是Internet Relay Chat 的英文缩写，中文一般称为互联网中继聊天。
也就是聊天室，在这里你可以畅所欲言、大谈人生哲理。

IRC是Internet Relay Chat 的英文缩写，中文一般称为互联网中继聊天。它是由芬兰人Jarkko Oikarinen于1988年首创的一种网络聊天协议。经过十年的发展，目前世界上有超过60个国家提供了IRC的服务。在人气最旺的EFnet上，您可以看到上万的使用者在同一时间使用IRC。很多人称其为继bbs后的一种即时闲聊方式，相比于bbs来说，它有着更直观，友好的界面，在这里你可以畅所欲言、而且可以表现动作化，是故使众多的网虫们留连忘返。

到现在已经25年了,github上仍旧有许多开源项目用IRC频道,我稍微去了下，发现老外还是非常nice的，对你的问题非常耐心,IRC 在国外的流行程度已经远超出我想像了

例如，这是django cms的频道

这是flask的频道

到现在还在用IRC的人一般都是大牛级别的人物.推荐大家去逛下，体验下上古时代的聊天方式，非常不一样的体验。下面截图是

一个中文频道的.推荐去##Linux频道

注册

1. 注册你心爱的昵称，让大家都记得你
2. 在聊天栏输入
3. $ /nick (昵称)
4. $ /msg nickserv register (密码) (邮箱地址)
5. 然后打开邮箱收信，单击激活链接即可。
6. 下次登录时便可使用如下命令完成验证 :$ /msg nickserv identify (密码)

IRSSI使用

1. irssi -c irc.freenode.net port 7000 登录
2. /leave ,离开当前频道
3. /msg & lt;昵称& gt; & lt;消息& gt;，向某人发私消息（新开窗口）
4.   /query <昵称> <消息>，向某人发私消息（新开窗口且转换到这个窗口）
5.  /say & lt;昵称& gt; & lt;消息& gt;，向某人说话（不新开窗口）
6.   /notice <昵称> <消息>，向指定人发出注意消息
7. /me & lt;动作& gt;，在当前聊天室窗口中做出动作。 如做出晕倒动作：
8. /me 晕倒
9. /away & lt;原因& gt;，留下信息说明暂时离开，别人向你发出私聊时将会返回此消息，再重新输入
10. /away（不指定参数）则解除离开状态。
11. /ignore & lt;昵称& gt;，忽略某人的聊天内容
12. /set autolog on，自动保存聊天记录
13. [Act: 1, 3, 6, 9, 10] 这些数字提示各个频道上对话情况：灰白色表示有人登录或登出，白色代表在人在此channel上说话，灰红色代表对话中提起你的名字或呼叫你。
14. Alt+ 1~ 0对应 1~ 10的irc channel编号； Alt+ q~p对应 11~ 20的irc channel编号； Ctrl+n/p切换上/下一个irc channel; PageUP/PageDn切换上/下页讯息
15. (可选)一般频道都通过ChanServ这个机器人管理. 如下命令将ChanServ永久加入你的聊天室 /msg ChanServ SET & lt;频道名& gt; GUARD ON
16. 如果你所加入的频道有新的消息，那么频道号码会以高亮方式显示出来。这时可 以使用 /win 切换过去读新的消息。如果频道好码以红色高亮，
17. 说明有人在该频 道里提到了你的名字，这时你需要特别关注一下
18.  表情  IRC 并不是真正支持发送什么表情，它只是提供一种专门用来做表情的命令 /me + 表情 。当你使用这个命令发送信息时，
19. 大部分客户端都会以缩进或高亮 的方式来消息。当你看到表情消息时，你只能脑补一下了。  17: 18  * jianingy is confused
20. 私聊  IRC 鼓励大家在公开频道聊天。任何问题的讨论对每一个在频道里的人都是透明 的。然而，你还是偶尔可能想跟某个人单独对话。
21. 这个时候可以使用 /query 命令。例如：你想要单独和 jianingy 聊两句  /query jianingy

中文活跃频道

2. #linuxba
3. #ubuntu-cn

IRSSI插件使用

1. 使用 Irssi 插件
2. irssi的插件很方便,直接在 http: //scripts.irssi.org/下载,然后放到~/.irssi/scripts下就可以了,然后在irssi中调用/script load调用插件(/run在新版本使用),
3. 如果想脚本自动调用的话就进入~ /.irssi/scripts/autorun目录,
4. 然后ln -s ../yourscripts.pl 就可以了
5. 毫无疑问像 irssi 这么具有黑客范儿的程序一定是支持插件的。这些插件让 irssi 的功能更为全面、强大。
6. 你可以在 http: //scripts.irssi.org 找到很 多有用的插件。
7. 加载插件的方法是：把插件文件下载到 ~ /.irssi/scripts 里面，然后在 irssi 里执行命令：
8. /script load 插件名称
9. 如果你想让一个插件在 irssi 启动的时候就被自动加载，就做一个符号链接 把该插件链接到 ~ /.irssi/scripts/autorun 这个目录里面。
10. 其他和插件相关的命令还有：
11. /script unload
12. 卸载一个插件。
13. /script
14. 列出当前加载的插件。
15. /script reset
16. 卸载所有插件，并且重置插件的 Perl 解释器。
17. 接下来介绍几个非常实用的插件：
18. adv_windowlist
19. 下载地址： http: //anti.teamidiot.de/static/nei/*/Code/Irssi/adv_windowlist.pl
20. 默认的 window list 只能显示一行。用了这个插件后 window list 可以显示多 行。特别适合那些加入频道比较多的朋友。
21. nickcolor
22. 下载地址：http: //scripts.irssi.org/scripts/nickcolor.pl
23. 给频道里每个人的名字以不同颜色显示出来。方便你认清每一个人。
24. go
25. 下载地址：http: //scripts.irssi.org/scripts/go.pl
26. 使用 /win 命令切换窗口需要自己记住窗口号码和频道之间的关系。 go 让 我们可以直接使用频道名字切换窗口，并且还支持自动补齐功能。
27. trackbar
28. 下载地址：http: //scripts.irssi.org/scripts/trackbar.pl
29. 在你上次浏览内容下方画一道横线。如果你同时看多个频道的话，这个插件非常 有用。他能帮你了解该频道自你上次浏览后有哪些新内容。
30. queryresume
31. 下载地址：http: //scripts.irssi.org/scripts/queryresume.pl
32. 每次跟人私聊的时候先显示上次你俩聊天时的最后几行。
