<title>Plugins</title>
<para>
This chapter describes WeeChat plugin mechanism and default plugins
provided with WeeChat.
</para>

<title>Plugins in WeeChat</title>
<para>
A plugin is dynamic library, written in C and compiled, which is loaded
by WeeChat.
Under GNU/Linux, the file has ".so" extension, ".dll" under Windows.
</para>
<para>
Plugins found are automatically loaded when WeeChat is starting, and it
is possible to load or unload plugins while WeeChat is running.
</para>
<para>
It's important to make difference between a <literal>plugin</literal> and
a <literal>script</literal>: a plugin is a binary file compiled and
loaded with command<command>/plugin</command>, whereas a script is a text
file loaded with a plugin like <literal>Perl</literal> with command
<command>/perl</command>.
</para>
<para>
You can use command <command>/plugin</command> to load/unload a plugin,
or list all loaded plugins.
When a plugin is unloaded, all buffers created by this plugin are
automatically closed.
</para>
<para>
Examples to load, unload or list plugins:
<screen>
/plugin load irc
/plugin unload irc
/plugin list
</screen>
</para>
<para>
