🚀 Features

• I/O Multiplexing: Used kqueue.

• Channel Management: Create, join, and leave channels.

• Private Messaging: Send direct messages to other users.

   git clone https://github.com/Hyun-Soon/IRC-Server.git
   cd IRC-Server

2. Build the project:

   make

🛠️ Usage

Once the server is running, clients can connect to it using an IRC client.

Example of Connecting with an IRC Client:

• Connect with nc : nc -c <serverip> <port>

If you connect this way, you should register userinfo using command PASS, USER, NICK (Check IRC Protocol)
