Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Protocol Specification

Version 4.1, because 4.0 was clearly not enough.

Author: A. Nonymous

This specification defines the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) protocol, a system of communication that's only slightly more civilized than shouting at a crowded coffee shop.

IRC is a network of chat rooms where users can send messages to each other using connections and clients.

For more information about IRC, see the related protocols page.
