Numerics

RFC Deviations

Some numerics are custom and taken from a variety of IRC daemons such as InspIRCd (http://www.inspircd.org/), Bahamut (http://www.dal.net/?page=bahamut), ircd-hybrid (http://www.ircd-hybrid.org/) and ircd-ratbox (http://www.ratbox.org/), ircu (http://coder-com.undernet.org/), and UnrealIRCd (http://www.unrealircd.com/).

This includes numerics such as #403 (ERR_NOSUCHCHANNEL) which ordinarily and unsurprisingly returns "No such channel", but yields the more meaningful "Invalid channel name" on InspIRCd and RubIRCd and #468 (ERR_INVALIDUSERNAME) taken from ircu.

Numerics #750 (RPL_DEBUGMSG) and #751 (RPL_ENDOFDEBUGMSG) are also worth mentioning. These are used for generic debug messages of arbitrary length.

For more information, see numerics supported in RubIRCd.
