3.4 Connecting to multiple servers

One of the most important features of Riece is that users can use several IRC servers at the same time.

The procedure to use multiple servers consists (1) connecting to the foreign server and (2) joinning a channel:

1. Type C-c O (riece-command-open-server), and then you will be asked the server name.
2. Type C-c j (riece-command-join) to join a channel. Here the server name follows the channel name. To input a space character, use C-q. For example, if you want to join the channel #Riece on the server irc6, type C-c j #Riece C-q SPC irc6.

If you want to send IRC command without joinning a channel, C-c M (riece-command-universal-server-name-argument) may be useful.

Commands used for connection management are listed below:

C-c O

Connect to the foreign server. (riece-command-open-server)

C-c C

Close the connection to the server. (riece-command-close-server)

C-c M

Issue a command on the specified server. (riece-command-universal-server-name-argument)
