ERC is a powerful, modular, and extensible IRC client.
This function is the main entry point for ERC.
It permits you to select connection parameters, and then starts ERC.
Non-interactively, it takes the keyword arguments
(server (erc-compute-server))
(port (erc-compute-port))
(nick (erc-compute-nick))
password
(full-name (erc-compute-full-name)))
That is, if called with
(erc :server "irc.freenode.net" :full-name "Harry S Truman")
then the server and full-name will be set to those values, whereas
`erc-compute-port', `erc-compute-nick' and `erc-compute-full-name' will
be invoked for the values of the other parameters.
(fn &key (server (erc-compute-server)) (port (erc-compute-port)) (nick (erc-compute-nick)) PASSWORD (full-name (erc-compute-full-name)))
