=head1 NAME

Net::IRC3 - An IRC Protocol module which is event system independend

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.21

=cut

our $VERSION = '0.21';

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   use Net::IRC3;

   my $irc3 = new Net::IRC3;

   my $con = $irc3->connect ("test.not.at.irc.net", 6667);

   ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L<Net::IRC3> itself is a simple building block for an IRC client.
It manages connections and parses and constructs IRC messages.

L<Net::IRC3> is I<very> simple, if you don't want to care about
all the other things that a client still has to do (like replying to
PINGs and remembering who is on a channel), I recommend to read
the L<Net::IRC3::Client> page instead.

Note that this module uses AnyEvent as it's IO event subsystem.
You can integrate Net::IRC3 into any application with a event system
that AnyEvent has support for (eg. L<Gtk2> or L<Event>).

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item B<new ()>

This just creates a L<Net::IRC3> object, which is a management
class for creating and managing connections.

=cut

sub new
{
  my $this = shift;
  my $class = ref($this) || $this;

  my $self = { };

  bless $self, $class;

  return $self;
}

=item B<connect ($host, $port)>

Tries to open a socket to the host C<$host> and the port C<$port>.
If successfull it will return a L<Net::IRC3::Connection> object.
If an error occured it will die (use eval to catch the exception).

=cut

sub connect {
   my ($self, $host, $port) = @_;

   defined $self->{connections}->{"$host:$port"}
      and return;

   my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new (
      PeerAddr => $host,
      PeerPort => $port,
      Proto    => 'tcp',
      Blocking => 0
   ) or die "couldn't connect to irc server '$host:$port': $!\n";;

   eval "require $ConnectionClass";
   my $con = $ConnectionClass->new ($self, $sock, $host, $port);

   $con->{rw} =
      AnyEvent->io (poll => 'r', fh => $sock, cb => sub {
         my $l = sysread $sock, my $data, 1024;

         $con->feed_irc_data ($data);

         unless ($l) {

            if (defined $l) {
               $con->disconnect ("EOF from IRC server '$host:$port'");
               return;

            } else {
               $con->disconnect ("Error while reading from IRC server '$host:$port': $!");
               return;
            }
         }
      });

   return $con;
}

=item B<connections ()>

Returns a key value list, where the key is C<"$host:$port"> and the
value is the connection object. Only 'active' connections are returned.
That means, if a connection is terminated somehow, it will also disappear
from this list.

=cut

sub connections {
   my ($self) = @_;
   return %{$self->{connections}};
}

=item B<connection ($host, $port)> or B<connection ("$host:$port")>

Returns the L<Net::IRC3::Connection> object for the C<$host> C<$port>
pair. If no such connection exists, undef is returned.

=cut

sub connection {
   my ($self, $host, $port) = @_;
   if ($host =~ m/^[^:]+:(\d+)$/) {
      return $self->{connections}->{$host}
   } else {
      return $self->{connections}->{$host.':'.$port}
   }
}
