ircg_pconnect() will try to establish a connection to an IRC server.
usernameThe initial nickname on the server.
server_ipThe IRC server address.
server_ip must be an IP address in numerical
form. DNS lookups are expensive and should be done in the context of
IRCG. Default to 127.0.0.1.
server_portThe server port number. Default to 6667.
msg_format
You can customize the output of IRC messages and events by selecting a
format message set previously created with
ircg_register_format_messages() by specifying
the set's name in msg_format.
ctcp_messages
If you want to handle CTCP messages such as ACTION (/me), you need to
define a mapping from CTCP type (e.g. ACTION) to a custom format
string. Do this by passing an associative array as
ctcp_messages. The keys of the array
are the CTCP type and the respective value is the format message.
user_settingsYou can define "ident", "password", and "realname" tokens which are sent to the IRC server by setting these in this associative array.
