IRC (standing for Internet Relay Chat) is a real-time Internet text messaging or conferencing protocol.
The IRC protocol was created to support group communication on online forums, aka channels, but it also features private messages and data transfers.
Nowadays, IRC clients designed solely for IRC are very rare, as more and more messaging clients come with built-in IRC support.
When connectinf to an IRC network users are required to choose a nickname that will be displayed whenever they connect to an IRC channel.
