Hi!
this is vchat-client, a GPLed (SSL) client for the vchat protocol.
You can get the most recent version of vchat-client via git, e.g:
git clone git://erdgeist.org/vchat-client
(press return at password prompt)
no autoconf yet, sorry. required libs:
openssl (1.0.1g+ preferred)
readline (4.2+ preferred)
ncurses (5.2 preferred)
please adjust the Makefile according to your need, then run 'make' to compile,
./vchat-client to start the binary. nope, I don't have any intention to use
autoconf for this hack.
run 'fakeroot make -f debian/rules binary' to build a debian package from the
source.
Keyboard commands:
^J - clear private window
^O - clear channel window
^L - redraw screen
^F - scroll window up
^B - scroll window down
^R - change active scrolling window
(see rightmost character of topic/console lines)
^T - shrink private window size
^G - grow private window size
^X - toggle private window
(pops up on private messages)
TAB - nick completion
We also do provide a set of IRC like / - commands, there are:
/CONFIG - not implemented yet, but will be used for configuration
/QUIT reason - issue .x reason
/USER regex - list users matching regex
/FLT C regex - add regex to filter list... read ./filters for details
/RMFLT regex|id - remove filter regex or id from filter list
/LSFLT (C) - list all filter rules (matching C)
/CLFLT (C) - remove all filter rules (matching C)
/M(SG) user msg - issue .m user msg
/LH - print hilitelist
/ME action - issue .a action
if you want to use an own window for messages set "messages" to a value in
~./vchat/config ..
if you want to use an SSL certificate with the default configuration you need
to put the key in ~/.vchat/key and the certificate in ~/.vchat/cert, both in
PEM format. You can generate a key and a certificate by calling vchat-keygen,
but the server you connect needs to know the anon CA provided by vchat-keygen,
which currently isn't the case anywhere.
FILES:
README - you're reading it.
TODO - list of things to do
vchat-client.c - main() and utility functions
vchat-config.h - configuration defaults
vchat-keygen - key generator with anon CA - server support required
vchat-messages.h - server messages <-> function correlation
vchat-protocol.c - handling of server connection & messages
vchat-ui.c - user-interface and readline handling
vchat-user.c - userlist handling
vchat.h - global structures and functions
everything should be self-explantory, but please don't refrain to ask and/or
give bug reports, feature requests, hints and tricks, etc etc ..
