Jbotc

jbotc is a simple IRC bot written in C.

Building: If it's your first time, cp defines.h{.def,} and then change things such as username and server/room to connect to.

Then issue:
	make
This builds conbot and jbot binaries.

Running: You can simply run ./bin/conbot to have your bot loaded and connected to your defined IRC channel. conbot is a wrapper around jbot which connects to IRC and handles pinging. jbot is what actually handles all the functionality.

If you want to test out jbot's functionality:
	./bin/jbot
It will first print a PRIVMSG to its OWNER as a greeting. It then accepts
standard IRC broadcast messages and responds to them. For instance if you
type:
	:nick!user@hostmask PRIVMSG #CHANNEL_NAME :NICK: o/
it should respond with
	PRIVMSG #CHANNEL_NAME :nick: \o
or
	PRIVMSG #CHANNEL_NAME :nick: o/
which would appear as a wave back in an IRC client.

Debugging: I've recently done a lot of work with valgrind, trying to figure out its mysterious ways. I believe I've failed. In any case, you can use valgrind ./bin/jbot to see if there is anything funky going on according to it.

I made a suppressions file for regex functions and some internal sscanf
things, but I believe that was all stemming from setting a pointer the
result of malloc not initializing the pointer according to valgrind. So, my
suggestion is don't use it.
