# POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::ISupport(3pm)

A PoCo-IRC plugin that handles server capabilities

## NAME

POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::ISupport - A PoCo-IRC plugin that handles server capabilities

## DESCRIPTION

This handles the `"irc_005"` messages that come from the server.  They define the capabilities support by the server.

## METHODS

### "new"

Takes no arguments.

Returns a plugin object suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC's `"plugin_add"` method.

### "isupport"

Takes one argument. the server capability to query. Returns a false value on failure or a value representing the applicable capability. A full list of capabilities is available at \<http://www.irc.org/tech\_docs/005.html\>.

### "isupport\_dump\_keys"

Takes no arguments, returns a list of the available server capabilities, which can be used with `"isupport"`.

## INPUT

This module handles the following PoCo-IRC signals:

### "irc\_005" (RPL\_ISUPPORT or RPL\_PROTOCTL)

Denotes the capabilities of the server.

### "all"

Once the next signal is received that is *greater* than `"irc_005"`, it emits an `"irc_isupport"` signal.

## OUTPUT EVENTS

### "irc\_isupport"

Emitted by: the first signal received after `"irc_005"`

`"ARG0"` will be the plugin object itself for ease of use.

This is emitted when the support report has finished.
