4.5 Defining a new command

Here’s a simple new command, /sv. With it, you can boast about your IRC client. It shows how you can use defun-rcirc-command to define new commands.

We’re waiting for the definition of this command until rcirc is loaded because defun-rcirc-command is not yet available, and without rcirc loaded, the command wouldn’t do us much good anyway.

(eval-after-load 'rcirc
  '(defun-rcirc-command sv (arg)
     "Boast about rcirc."
     (interactive "i")
     (rcirc-send-message process target
                         (concat "I use " rcirc-id-string))))
