Features[edit]
Irssi is written in the C programming language and in normal operation uses a text-mode user interface.[4]
According to the developers, Irssi was written from scratch, not based on ircII (like BitchX and epic).[5] 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.[5] Numerous Perl scripts have been made available for Irssi to customise how it looks and operates.[6]Plugins are available which add encryption[7][8] and protocols such as ICQ and XMPP.[9][10]
Irssi may be configured by using its user interface or by manually editing its configuration files, which use a syntax resembling Perl data structures.[4]
Distributions[edit]
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,[11]NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, Solaris,[12]Arch Linux,[13]Ubuntu and others.
Irssi builds and runs on Microsoft Windows under Cygwin, and in 2006, an official Windows standalone build became available.[14]
For the Unix-based macOS, text mode ports are available from the Homebrew, MacPorts, and Fink package managers, and two graphical clients have been written based on Irssi, IrssiX, and MacIrssi.[12] The Cocoa client Colloquy was previously based on Irssi,[15] but it now uses its own IRC core implementation.[16]
