+=head1 NAME
+
+Irssi.pm
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+L<Irssi|http://irssi.org> is a console based fullscreen IRC client.  It is
+written in the C programming language, and can be modified through both
+I<Modules> -- dynamically loadable compiled libraries -- and I<Scripts>, written
+in L<Perl|http://perl.org>.
+
+Modules are not covered in this documentation, other than to note that Perl
+scripting support itself may be compiled as a module rather than built directly
+into Irssi.  The C</LOAD> command can be used from within Irssi to check if Perl
+support is available. If not, refer to the F<INSTALL> file for how to recompile
+irssi.
+
+The C<Irssi> package is the basis of Perl scripting in Irssi. It does not export any
+functions, and requires that all function-calls be fully qualified with the
+C<Irssi::I<cmd>> prefix.
+
+=head1 CLASSES

+=head2 Signals
+
+See also L<Signals>
+
+Irssi is pretty much based on sending and handling different signals.
+Like when you receive a message from server, say:
+
+C<:nick!user@there.org PRIVMSG you :blahblah>
+
+Irssi will first send a signal:
+
+C<"server incoming", SERVER_REC, "nick!user@there PRIVMSG ...">
+
+You probably don't want to use this signal. Default handler for this
+signal interprets the header and sends a signal:
+
+C<"server event", Irssi::Server, "PRIVMSG ...", "nick", "user@there.org">
+
+You probably don't want to use this either, since this signal's default
+handler parses the event string and sends a signal:
+
+C<"event privmsg", Irssi::Server, "you :blahblah", "nick", "user@there.org">
+
+You can at any point grab the signal, do whatever you want to do with
+it and optionally stop it from going any further by calling
+L<Irssi::signal_stop|Irssi/signal_stop>
+
+For example:
+
+    sub event_privmsg {
+        # $data = "nick/#channel :text"
+        my ($server, $data, $nick, $address) = @_;
+        my ($target, $text) = split(/ :/, $data, 2);
+
+        Irssi::signal_stop() if ($text =~ /free.*porn/ || $nick =~ /idiot/);
+    }
+
+    Irssi::signal_add("event privmsg", "event_privmsg");
+
+This will hide all public or private messages that match the regexp
+C<"free.*porn"> or the sender's nick contain the word "idiot". Yes, you
+could use /IGNORE instead for both of these C<:)>
+
+You can also use L<Irssi::signal_add_last|/signal_add_last> if you wish to let the
+Irssi's internal functions be run before yours.
+
+A list of signals that irssi sends can be found in the L<Signals> documentation.
+
+
+
+
+=head3 Handling Signals
+
+=head4 C<signal_add $sig_name, $func>
+
+Bind C<$sig_name> to function C<$func>. The C<$func> argument may be either
+a string containing the name of a function to call, or a coderef.
+
+For example:
+
+    Irssi::signal_add("default command", sub { ... });
+
+    Irssi::signal_add("default command", "my_function");
+
+    Irssi::signal_add("default command", \&my_function);
+
+In all cases, the specified function will be passed arguments in C<@_> as specified
+in L<Signals>.
+
+=head4 C<signal_add_first $sig_name, $func>
+
+Bind C<$sig_name> to function C<$func>. Call C<$func> as soon as possible when
+the signal is raised.
+
+=head4 C<signal_add_last $sig_name, $func>
+
+Bind C<$sig_name> to function C<$func>. Call C<$func> as late as possible (after
+all other signal handlers).
+
+=head4 C<signal_remove $sig_name, $func>
+
+Unbind C<$sig_name> from function C<$func>.
+B<TODO: Can you unbind a signal from a C<sub { ...}> coderef? What happens?>
+
+
+=head3 Controlling Signal Propagation
+
+=head4 C<signal_emit $sig_name, @params>
+
+Send a signal of type C<$sig_name>. Up to 6 parameters can be passed in C<@params>.
+
+=head4 C<signal_continue @params>
+
+Propagate a currently emitted signal, but with different parameters.  This only
+needs to be called if you wish to change them, otherwise all subsequent handlers
+will be invoked as normal.
+
+B<Should only be called from within a signal handler>
+
+=head4 C<signal_stop>
+
+Stop the signal that's currently being emitted, no other handlers after this one will
+be called.
+
+=head4 C<signal_stop_by_name $sig_name>
+
+Stop the signal with name C<$sig_name> that is currently being emitted.
+
+=head3 Registering New Signals
+
+=head4 C<signal_register $hashref>
+
+Register parameter types for one or more signals.  C<$hashref> must map one or
+more signal names to references to arrays containing 0 to 6 type names. Some
+recognized type names include int for integers, intptr for references to
+integers and string for strings. For all standard signals see
+F<src/perl/perl-signals-list.h> in the source code (this is generated by
+F<src/perl/get-signals.pl>).
+
+For example:
+
+    my $signal_config_hash = { "new signal" => [ qw/string string integer/ ] };
+    Irssi::signal_register($signal_config_hash);
+
+Any signals that were already registered are unaffected.
+
+B<Signals are not persistent.>  Once registered, a signal cannot be unregistered without
+restarting Irssi. B<TODO: True?>, including modifying the type signature.
+
+Registration is required to get any parameters to signals written in
+Perl and to emit and continue signals from Perl.
+
+B<TODO: What are the complete list of recognised types?>
+
+
+
+
+=head2 Commands
+
+See also L<Irssi::Command>
+
+=head3 Registering Commands
+
+=head4 C<command_bind $cmd, $func, $category>
+
+Bind a command string C<$cmd> to call function C<$func>. C<$func> can be
+either a string or coderef. C<$category> is an optional string specifying
+the category to display the command in when C</HELP> is used.
+
+=head4 C<command_runsub $cmd, $data, $server, $item>
+
+Run subcommands for `cmd'. First word in `data' is parsed as
+subcommand. `server' is L<Irssi::Server> record for current
+L<Irssi::Windowitem> `item'.
+
+Call command_runsub in handler function for `cmd' and bind
+with command_bind("`cmd' `subcmd'", subcmdfunc[, category]);
+
+B<TODO: example here>
+
+=head4 C<command_unbind $cmd, $func>
+
+Unbind command C<$cmd> from function C<$func>.
+
+=head3 Invoking Commands
+
+=head4 C<command $string>
+
+Run the command specified in C<$string> in the currently active context.
+
+B<TODO: passing args in C<@_> vs concatenating into the command string?>
+
+See also L<Irssi::Server/command $string>
+
+=head3 Parsing Command Arguments
+
+=head4 C<command_set_options $cmd, $data>
+
+Set options for command C<$cmd> to C<$data>. C<$data> is a string of
+space separated words which specify the options. Each word can be
+optionally prefixed with one of the following character:
+
+=over 16
+
+=item C<->: optional argument
+
+=item C<@>: optional numeric argument
+
+=item C<+>: required argument
+
+=back
+
+For example:
+
+   my $argument_format = "+something -other -another @number";
+   Irssi::command_set_options('mycmd', $argument_format);
+
+Thus, the command may be run as C</mycmd -something value -other value rest of args>.
+
+=head4 C<command_parse_options $cmd, $data>
+
+Parse out options as specified by L<command_set_options|/command_set_options
+$cmd, $data> for command C<$cmd>. A string containing the input received by the
+command handler should be passed in as C<$data>.
+
+The return value is either C<undef> if an error occurred, or a list containing
+two items. The first is a hashref mapping the option names to their
+values. Optional arguments which were not present in the input will not be
+included in the hash.
+
+The second item in the return list is a string containing the remainder of the input
+after the arguments have been parsed out.
+
+For example:
+
+    sub my_cmd_handler {
+        my ($command_args) = @_;
+        my @options_list = Irssi::command_parse_options "my_cmd", $command_args;
+        if (@options_list) {
+            my $options       = $options_list->[0];
+            my $arg_remainder = $options_list->[1];
+
+            if (exists $options->{other} && $options->{something} eq 'hello') {
+
+                ...
+
+            }
+        }
+    }

+
+
+=head2 IO and Process Management
+
+timeout_add(msecs, func, data)
+  Call `func' every `msecs' milliseconds (1000 = 1 second) with
+  parameter `data'. Returns tag which can be used to stop the timeout.
+
+timeout_add_once(msecs, func, data);
+  Call `func' once after `msecs' milliseconds (1000 = 1 second)
+  with parameter `data'. Returns tag which can be used to stop the timeout.
+
+timeout_remove(tag)
+  Remove timeout with tag.
+
+input_add(source, condition, func, data)
+  Call `func' with parameter `data' when specified IO happens.
+  `source' is the file handle that is being listened. `condition' can
+  be INPUT_READ, INPUT_WRITE or both. Returns tag which can be used to
+  remove the listener.
+
+input_remove(tag)
+  Remove listener with tag.
+
+pidwait_add(pid)
+  Adds `pid' to the list of processes to wait for. The pid must identify
+  a child process of the irssi process. When the process terminates, a
+  "pidwait" signal will be sent with the pid and the status from
+  waitpid(). This is useful to avoid zombies if your script forks.
+
+pidwait_remove(pid)
+  Removes `pid' from the list of processes to wait for. Terminated
+  processes are removed automatically, so it is usually not necessary
+  to call this function.
+
+
+
+=head2 Message Levels
+
+level2bits(level)
+  Level string -> number
+
+bits2level(bits)
+  Level number -> string
+
+combine_level(level, str)
+  Combine level number to level string ("+level -level").
+  Return new level number.
+
+
+=head2 Themes
+
+See also L<Irssi::Theme>
+
+You can have user configurable texts in scripts that work just like
+irssi's internal texts that can be changed in themes.
+
+First you'll have to register the formats:
+
+
+Irssi::theme_register([
+  'format_name', '{hilight my perl format!}',
+  'format2', 'testing.. nick = $0, channel = $1'
+]);
+
+Printing happens with one of the functions:
+
+printformat(level, format, ...)
+Window::printformat(level, format, ...)
+Server::printformat(target, level, format, ...)
+Windowitem::printformat(level, format, ...)
+
+For example:
+
+  $channel->printformat(MSGLEVEL_CRAP, 'format2',
+		        'nick', $channel->{name});
+
+
+=head2 DCC
+
+See also L<Irssi::Dcc>
+
+Dcc
+dcc_find_item(type, nick, arg)
+  Find DCC connection.
+
+Dcc
+dcc_find_by_port(nick, port)
+  Find DCC connection by port.
