}

Information on keeping the connection alive

val default_keepalive : keepalive

Default value for keepalive: active mode with auto-reconnect

val listen : 
  ?keepalive:keepalive ->
  connection:connection_t ->
  callback:(connection_t -> Irc_message.parse_result -> unit Io.t) ->
  unit ->
  unit Io.t

listen connection callback listens for incoming messages on connection. All server pings are handled internally; all other messages are passed, along with connection, to callback.

parameter keepalive
the behavior on disconnection (if the transport supports Irc_transport.IO.pick and Irc_transport.IO.sleep)

val reconnect_loop : 
  ?keepalive:keepalive ->
  ?reconnect:bool ->
  after:int ->
  connect:(unit -> connection_t option Io.t) ->
  f:(connection_t -> unit Io.t) ->
  callback:(connection_t -> Irc_message.parse_result -> unit Io.t) ->
  unit ->
  unit Io.t

A combination of connect and listen that, every time the connection is terminated, tries to start a new one after after seconds.

parameter after
time before trying to reconnect

parameter connect
how to reconnect (a closure over connect or connect_by_name)

parameter callback
the callback for listen

parameter f
the function to call after connection

val set_log : (string -> unit Io.t) -> unit

Set logging function
