Function: erc-ssl
erc-ssl is a function alias and interactive for erc-tls, defined in
erc.el.gz.
Signature
(erc-ssl &key (SERVER (erc-compute-server)) (PORT (erc-compute-port 'ircs-u)) (NICK (erc-compute-nick)) (USER (erc-compute-user)) PASSWORD (FULL-NAME (erc-compute-full-name)) CLIENT-CERTIFICATE ID)
Documentation
ERC is a powerful, modular, and extensible IRC client.
This function is the main entry point for ERC over TLS.
It allows selecting connection parameters, and then starts ERC over TLS.
Non-interactively, it takes the keyword arguments
(server (erc-compute-server))
(port (erc-compute-port))
(nick (erc-compute-nick))
(user (erc-compute-user))
password
(full-name (erc-compute-full-name))
client-certificate
id
That is, if called with
(erc-tls :server "irc.libera.chat" :full-name "J. Random Hacker")
then the server and full-name will be set to those values,
whereas erc-compute-port and erc-compute-nick will be invoked
for the values of their respective parameters.
CLIENT-CERTIFICATE, if non-nil, should either be a list where the
first element is the certificate key file name, and the second
element is the certificate file name itself, or t, which means
that auth-source will be queried for the key and the
certificate. Authenticating using a TLS client certificate is
also referred to as "CertFP" (Certificate Fingerprint)
authentication by various IRC networks.
Example usage:
(erc-tls :server "irc.libera.chat" :port 6697
:client-certificate
'("/home/bandali/my-cert.key"
"/home/bandali/my-cert.crt"))
When present, ID should be a symbol or a string to use for naming the server buffer and identifying the connection unequivocally. See Info node (erc) Network Identifier for details. Like USER and CLIENT-CERTIFICATE, this parameter cannot be specified interactively.
