t.w.p.i.DccChat(basic.LineReceiver, styles.Ephemeral) : class documentation

Direct Client Connection protocol type CHAT.

DCC CHAT is really just your run o' the mill basic.LineReceiver protocol. This class only varies from that slightly, accepting either LF or CR LF for a line delimeter for incoming messages while always using CR LF for outgoing.

The lineReceived method implemented here uses the DCC connection's 'client' attribute (provided upon construction) to deliver incoming lines from the DCC chat via IRCClient's normal privmsg interface. That's something of a spoof, which you may well want to override.

Method	__init__	Initialize a new DCC CHAT session.
Method	dataReceived	Protocol.dataReceived. Translates bytes into lines, and calls lineReceived (or rawDataReceived, depending on mode.)
Method	lineReceived	Override this for when each line is received.

Inherited from LineReceiver:

Class Variable	delimiter	The line-ending delimiter to use. By default this is '\r\n'.
Class Variable	MAX_LENGTH	The maximum length of a line to allow (If a sent line is longer than this, the connection is dropped). Default is 16384.
Method	clearLineBuffer	Clear buffered data.
Method	setLineMode	Sets the line-mode of this receiver.
Method	setRawMode	Sets the raw mode of this receiver. Further data received will be sent to rawDataReceived rather than lineReceived.
Method	rawDataReceived	Override this for when raw data is received.
Method	sendLine	Sends a line to the other end of the connection.
Method	lineLengthExceeded	Called when the maximum line length has been reached. Override if it needs to be dealt with in some special way.

Inherited from Protocol (via LineReceiver):

Method	logPrefix	Return a prefix matching the class name, to identify log messages related to this protocol instance.
Method	connectionLost	Called when the connection is shut down.

Inherited from BaseProtocol (via LineReceiver, Protocol):

Method	makeConnection	Make a connection to a transport and a server.
Method	connectionMade	Called when a connection is made.
