Modules/bIRC/ircRegister

	This function is provided by the external module Basic IRC Module. You must install this module to use this function.

This function is used to register an ircbot for specified resource. By registering an ircbot for a resource, you are able to use the callbacks called by that bot in that resource.

Note: It is required to register your ircbot to the module if you're willing to use callbacks with other resources than the one where specified ircbot was originally created. This function is automatically executed for that specific resource when creating a new ircbot using ircCreateBot so registering a newly created ircbot within same resource is not required.

Syntax

bool ircRegister ( ircbot theBot, [ string resourceName = getResourceName ( getThisResource() ) ] )

Required Arguments

• theBot: The ircbot which you want to call the callbacks.

Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use. For more information on optional arguments, see optional arguments.

• resourceName: The name of resource to which the ircbot should be registered. The resource specified must be running. Defaults to current resource's name.

Returns

Returns true if registering callbacks was succesful, false otherwise.

Example

This example creates an ircbot called DummyBot on when resource ircecho starts. DummyBot is now able to call the callback function event_ircOnText inside resource ircecho.
Once resource ircecho2 starts, it checks if ircbot named DummyBot exists and if it does, it registers that bot's callbacks for resource ircecho2. Now DummyBot is able to call the callback function event_ircOnText also inside resource ircecho2.
