Synopsis: dcc raw 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.
