quIRC is a lightweight console-mode IRC client. It uses terminal escape sequences to provide a clean character-cell based interface, handling things like multiple channels and servers (using tabs), input line editing (with bash-like keystrokes), and backscroll.

Recent releases


Release Notes: This release adds asynchronous name lookups with getaddrinfo_a(), preventing interface lockout while resolving server names. For systems without getaddrinfo_a (which is a glibc extension), the macro ASYNCH_NL in osconf.h can be used to disable its use.


Release Notes: This release fixes several bugs in the mode handling introduced in 0.8.0, and adds more mode-related features.


Release Notes: This version understands modes (mostly, anyway) and the Prefix parameter of ISUPPORT (numeric 005).


Release Notes: This release fixes several small issues, like dealing with SIGWINCH, an option to suppress setting the window title (in case you're not in an xterm), fixing some compile warnings on Fedora, and some configuration options relating to username and fullname. Support for server passwords was added, with the option --pass=<passwd> (and corresponding entries in ~/.quirc/rc).


Release Notes: This release adds configurable keymapping (ie. interpretation of escape sequences sent by the terminal) by means of the file '~/.quirc/keys'.
