+/*
+ This file is a description of the interface between the Miranda Scripting
+ Plugin (MSP) and IRC. It is mainly an internal draft.
+
+ The MSP is a powerful PHP based scripting engine
+ which can automate many tasks in Miranda IM. With the implementation of
+ this interface IRC can also benefit from the advantages MSP brings. The
+ interface has been constructed by the respective authors of IRC and MSP.
+
+ The idea is that MSP and IRC should communicate via the interface outlined herein,
+ but MSP should "package" the data in attractive functions that can be easily
+ used by eager scripters.
+
+ Note that m_chat.h should be #included as the events defined therein is used in this interface
+
+ The IRC plugin communicates with MSP mainly through 8 (2 x 4) services which are
+ illustrated by the following matrix (MSP has 4 services and IRC 4 services):
+
+
+ --------------------------------------------------
+ | | |
+ | Incoming raw data | Data going |
+ | from server | to GUI |
+ | (before processing) | (after processing) |
+ | | |
+ --------------------------------------------------
+ | | |
+ | Outgoing raw data | Data going |
+ | to server | from GUI |
+ | (after processing) | (before processing) |
+ | | |
+ --------------------------------------------------
+
+ (processing refers to the IRC plugin reacting to different commands)
+
+*/
+
+
+//------------------------- HANDLING RAW MESSAGES ------------------------
+/*
+
+ The two leftmost boxes are related to data sent to and from the server in RAW form.
+ (a typical RAW message looks like this: ":nick!user@host COMMAND PARAMETERS")
+
+ It is very useful for scripters to be able to manipulate and add RAW streams of data.
+
+ The below structure is used when RAW data is generated and IRC must trigger an
+ event in MSP so the scripts can do their magic.
+
+ If the data is modified make sure to use MS_SYSTEM_GET_MMI and then mmi_realloc() to
+ allocate from the same heap. Do not free the data.
+
+ wParam= Module name
+ lParam= (LPARAM)( char* )pszRaw
+ returns nonzero if the message should be dropped
+*/
+
+/*
+ NOTE! IRC will implement two services which also uses the same parameters:
+
+ "<Module m_name>/InsertRawIn" //used for inserting a "fake" incoming RAW event
+ "<Module m_name>/InsertRawOut" //used for inserting a "fake" outgoing RAW event

+ While maybe not as useful to the scripter, it can be useful to be able to
+ "tap into" messages to the GUI from the IRC plugin.
