- Synopsis:
- dcc raw <fd> <host> <message>
-
- Description:
- DCC RAW is a raw socket interface for ircII-EPIC. It allows the client
- to control arbitrary TCP connections with a remote host on any port
- desired.
-
- The actual connection is established with the $connect() function. It
- makes the connection and returns a file descriptor that is used by DCC
- RAW to control the connection. The file descriptor will always be a
- number (generally a small one). Incoming data from the remote host may
- be hooked with ON DCC_RAW.
-
- Examples:
- To send a message to blah.foo.com over an existing raw DCC connection:
- /dcc raw 6 blah.foo.com This is a sample message
-
- See Also:
- connect(6); listen(6); on(5) dcc_raw
-
- Other Notes:
- The applications for DCC RAW are endless. Since it allows the client
- connect to any arbitrary host on any arbitrary port, a little creative
- use of the scripting language can turn ircII-EPIC into a client for
- most any remote service.
