IRC (Internet Relay Chat)[edit]

IRC is a text-based communication protocol for real-time messaging. It was created in 1988 and remains popular for open-source communities, gaming, and technical support.

Key Concepts[edit]

Channels: Chat rooms prefixed with # (e.g., #irc)
Nicknames: Your display name
Clients: Software to connect (see IRC Clients)

IRC Daemons - Server software
IRC Services - Channel and nickname management
IRC Tools - Bots, bouncers, and utilities
IRC Clients - Desktop and web clients
