## What is this?

A simple Irssi C module for testing and experimentation purposes.
It was originally derived from the
[irssi-lua project](https://github.com/ahf/irssi-lua)

I intend to build it into a simple template of a loadable module, featuring
the use of various common constructs, to allow others to quickly get
up to speed when developing modules.

Note that modules are significantly more effort (and less portable, without
a huge amount of effort), so Perl scripts are to be preferred in call cases
where possible.

## Authors

 * Alexander Færøy <ahf@irssi.org>
     Original Author of irssi-lua, who did all the hard work figuring
     out the module interface stuff.  Also an Irssi project committer, I
     believe, so that probably counts as cheating.
