Irssi (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈirs.si] (audio)) is an IRC client program for Linux, FreeBSD, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X. It was originally written by Timo Sirainen, and released under the terms of the GNU General Public License in January 1999.[2]
Features
Irssi is written in the C programming language and in normal operation uses a text-mode user interface.[3]
According to the developers, Irssi was written from scratch, not based on ircII (like BitchX and epic).[4] This freed the developers from having to deal with the constraints of an existing codebase, allowing them to maintain tighter control over issues such as security and customization.[4] Numerous modules and Perl scripts have been made available for Irssi to customise how it looks and operates.[5] Plugins are available which add encryption[6][7] and protocols such as ICQ and XMPP.[8][9]
Irssi can only be configured by using its user interface, manually editting its config files is discouraged and can lead to unpredictable failures.
Distributions
Irssi was written primarily to run on Unix-like operating systems, and binaries and packages are available for Gentoo Linux, Debian, Slackware, SUSE (openSUSE), Frugalware, Fedora, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris,[10] and Arch Linux.[11]
Irssi builds and runs on Microsoft Windows under Cygwin, and in 2006, an official Windows standalone build became available.[12]
Several versions are available for the Unix-based Mac OS X, including a text-mode version using Homebrew, MacPorts, and Fink, and two graphical versions, IrssiX, and MacIrssi.[10] The Cocoa client Colloquy was previously based on Irssi,[13] but it now uses its own IRC core implementation.[14]
