Quassel is a program to connect to an IRC network. It has the unique
|
|
ability to split the graphical component (quasselclient) from the part
|
|
that handles the IRC connection (quasselcore). This means that you can
|
|
have a remote core permanently connected to one or more IRC networks and
|
|
attach a client from wherever you are without moving around any
|
|
information or settings. However, Quassel can easily behave like any
|
|
other client by combining them into one binary which is referred to as
|
|
"Quassel Mono".
|
|
|
|
In simpler terms, the "monolithic" client is a response to requests for
|
|
a client that behaves like every other IRC client. The monolithic client
|
|
(GUI) is what makes the connections to the IRC networks. In normal
|
|
operation, the client (GUI) connects to a core, it is completely
|
|
incapable of connecting to anything else. The core receives connections
|
|
from clients, and makes connections to the IRC networks, it also handles
|
|
logging (currently everything gets put in the database).
