WeeChat (Wee Enhanced Environment for Chat) is a free IRC client, fast and light, designed for many operating systems. Main features are: multi-servers connection (with SSL, IPv6, proxy) many GUI: Curses, wxWidgets, Gtk and Qt small, fast and light customizable and extensible with plugins and scripts compliant with RFCs 1459, 2810, 2811, 2812 and 2813 multi-platform (GNU/Linux, *BSD, MacOS X, Windows and other) 100% GPL, free software WeeChat homepage is here: http://weechat.flashtux.org

In order to install WeeChat, you need: a running GNU/Linux system (with compiler tools for source package) "root" privileges (to install WeeChat) according to GUI, one of the following libraries: Curses: ncurses library Gtk: *** GUI not developed *** WxWidgets: *** GUI not developed *** Qt: *** GUI not developed ***

This chapter explains how to install WeeChat.

Binary packages are available for these distributions: Debian (or any Debian compatible distribution): apt-get install weechat Mandriva/RedHat (or any RPM compatible distribution): rpm -i /chemin/weechat-x.y.z-1.i386.rpm Gentoo : emerge weechat For other distributions, please look at your manual for installation instructions.

All you have to do is to run in a console or a terminal: $ ./configure $ make Then get root privileges and install WeeChat: $ su (enter root password) # make install

Warning: CVS sources are for advanced users: it may not compile or not be stable. You're warned! To get CVS sources, issue this command: $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/weechat co weechat Execute this script: ./autogen.sh Then follow instructions for source package (see )

This chapter explains how to run WeeChat, the default key bindings used, internal and IRC commands, setup file, and FIFO pipe use.

Command line arguments: Parameter Description -a, --no-connect Disable auto-connect to servers at startup -c, --config Display config help (list of options) -d, --dir <path> Set path as home for WeeChat (used for configuration files, logs, user plugins and scripts). Default value is "~/.weechat". Please note that directory is created if not found by WeeChat. -f, --key-functions Display WeeChat internal functions for keys -h, --help Display help -i, --irc-commands Display IRC commands list -k, --keys Display WeeChat default keys -l, --license Display WeeChat license -p, --no-plugin Disable plugins auto-load -v, --version Display WeeChat version -w, --weechat-commands Display WeeChat commands list It is also possible to give URL for one or many IRC servers, as follow: irc[6][s]://[pseudo[:mot_passe]@]irc.example.org[:port][/channel][,channel[...] Example to join #weechat and #toto on "irc.freenode.net" server, default port (6667), with "nono" nick: $ weechat-curses irc://nono@irc.freenode.net/#weechat,#toto To start WeeChat, issue this command: for Curses GUI: weechat-curses for Gtk GUI: weechat-gtk for wxWidgets GUI: weechat-wxwidgets for Qt GUI: weechat-qt When you run WeeChat for the first time, a default configuration file is created, with default options. The default configuration file is: "~/.weechat/weechat.rc" You can edit this file at your convenience to configure WeeChat (ONLY if WeeChat is not running), or you can set parameters with "/set" command in WeeChat (see )

WeeChat command line (at the bottom of window) lets you send text on channels and execute WeeChat or IRC commands (see ). Commands begin with "/" char, followed by name of command. For example, to initiate a private chat with "toto": /query toto Text sent to a channel is any text that does not begin with "/" char. For example, to send text "hello" on current channel: hello However, it is possible to start with "/" char, by adding another. For example, to send text "/query toto" on current channel: //query toto If option for sending IRC colors ("irc_colors_send") is enabled, you can use color codes and attributes, as follow: Code Description %B bold text %Cxx text color "xx" (see colors table below) %Cxx,yy text color "xx" and background "yy" (see colors table below) %O disable color and attributes %R reverse video (revert text color with background) %U underlined text %% display one "%" Note: the same code (without number for %C) may be used to stop the attribute. Color codes for %C are: Code Color 00 white 01 black 02 dark blue 03 dark green 04 light red 05 dark red 06 magenta 07 orange 08 yellow 09 light green 10 cyan 11 light cyan 12 light blue 13 light magenta 14 gray 15 light gray (white) Example: display of "hello everybody!" with "hello" in light blue bold, and "everybody" in light red underlined: %C12%Bhello%B%C04%U everybody%U%C!

You can remote control WeeChat, by sending commands or text to a FIFO pipe (you have to enable option "irc_fifo_pipe", it is disabled by default). The FIFO pipe is located in "~/.weechat/" and is called "weechat_fifo_xxxxx" (where xxxxx is the process ID (PID) of running WeeChat). So if many WeeChat are running, you have many FIFO pipes, one for each session. The syntax for the FIFO pipe commands/text is: server,channel *text or command here where server and channel are optional, but if channel is here, server should be too. Some examples: nick change on freenode to "mynick|out" : $ echo "freenode */nick mynick|out" >~/.weechat/weechat_fifo_12345 display text on #weechat channel: $ echo "freenode,#weechat *hello everybody!" >~/.weechat/weechat_fifo_12345 display text on current channel (buffer displayed by WeeChat): $ echo "*hello!" >~/.weechat/weechat_fifo_12345 Warning: this is dangerous and you should not do that except if you know what you do! send two commands to unload/reload Perl scripts (you have to separate them with "\n"): $ echo -e "freenode */perl unload\nfreenode */perl autoload" >~/.weechat/weechat_fifo_12345 You can write a script to send command to all running WeeChat at same time, for example: #!/bin/sh if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then for fifo in $(/bin/ls ~/.weechat/weechat_fifo_* 2>/dev/null); do echo -e "$1" >$fifo done fi If the script is called "auto_weechat_command", you can run it with: $ ./auto_weechat_command "freenode,#weechat *hello"

This chapter describes WeeChat plugins interface (API) and the default scripts plugins (Perl, Python, Ruby, Lua), provided with WeeChat.

A plugin is a C program which can call WeeChat functions defined in an interface. This C program does not need WeeChat sources to compile and can be dynamically loaded into WeeChat with command /plugin. The plugin has to be a dynamic library, for dynamic loading by operating system. Under GNU/Linux, the file has ".so" extension, ".dll" under Windows.

The plugin has to include "weechat-plugin.h" file (available in WeeChat source code). This file defines structures and types used to communicate with WeeChat. The plugin must have some variables and functions (mandatory, without them the plugin can't load): Variable Description char plugin_name[] plugin name char plugin_version[] plugin version char plugin_description[] short description of plugin Function Description int weechat_plugin_init (t_weechat_plugin *plugin) function called when plugin is loaded, must return PLUGIN_RC_OK if successful, PLUGIN_RC_KO if error (if error, plugin will NOT be loaded) void weechat_plugin_end (t_weechat_plugin *plugin) function called when plugin is unloaded

Compile does not need WeeChat sources, only file "weechat-plugin.h". To compile a plugin which has one file "toto.c" (under GNU/Linux): $ gcc -fPIC -Wall -c toto.c $ gcc -shared -fPIC -o libtoto.so toto.o

Copy "libtoto.so" file into system plugins directory (for example "/usr/local/lib/weechat/plugins") or into user's plugins directory (for example "/home/xxxxx/.weechat/plugins"). Under WeeChat: /plugin load toto

Full example of plugin, which adds a /double command, which displays two times arguments on current channel (ok that's not very useful, but that's just an example!): #include <stdlib.h> #include "weechat-plugin.h" char plugin_name[] = "Double"; char plugin_version[] = "0.1"; char plugin_description[] = "Test plugin for WeeChat"; /* "/double" command manager */ int double_cmd (t_weechat_plugin *plugin, char *server, char *command, char *arguments, char *handler_args, void *handler_pointer) { if (arguments && arguments[0] && (arguments[0] != '/')) { plugin->exec_command (plugin, NULL, NULL, arguments); plugin->exec_command (plugin, NULL, NULL, arguments); } return PLUGIN_RC_OK; } int weechat_plugin_init (t_weechat_plugin *plugin) { plugin->cmd_handler_add (plugin, "double", "Display two times a message", "msg", "msg: message to display two times", NULL, &double_cmd, NULL, NULL); return PLUGIN_RC_OK; } void weechat_plugin_end (t_weechat_plugin *plugin) { /* nothing done here */ }

Four plugins are provided with WeeChat to use script languages: Perl, Python, Ruby and Lua.

Scripts are loaded and unloaded with /perl, /python, /ruby and /lua commands (type /help in WeeChat for help about commands). Examples: Load a Perl script: /perl load /tmp/test.pl List all loaded Perl scripts: /perl Load a Python script: /python load /tmp/test.py List all loaded Python scripts: /python Load a Ruby script: /ruby load /tmp/test.rb List all loaded Ruby scripts: /ruby Load a Lua script: /lua load /tmp/test.lua List all loaded Lua scripts: /lua

In a WeeChat Perl script, all API functions and variables are prefixed by "weechat::". Example: weechat::register("test", "1.0", "end_test", "WeeChat perl script");

A WeeChat Python script has to start by importing weechat: import weechat All API functions and variables are prefixed by "weechat.". Example: weechat.register("test", "1.0", "end_test", "WeeChat python script")

In a WeeChat Ruby script, all code has to be in functions. So for main code, you have to define a "weechat_init" function, which is automatically called when script is loaded by WeeChat. Example: def weechat_init Weechat.register("test", "1.0", "end_test", "WeeChat ruby script") Weechat.add_command_handler("command", "my_command") return Weechat::PLUGIN_RC_OK end def my_command(server, args) Weechat.print("my command") return Weechat::PLUGIN_RC_OK end All API functions are prefixed by "Weechat." and variables by "Weechat::".

In a WeeChat Lua script, all API functions are prefixed by "weechat.". Variables are prefixed by "weechat." and suffixed by "()". Example: function message_handler(server, args) weechat.print("I am a message handler") return weechat.PLUGIN_RC_OK() end
