+// Package ctcp implements partial support for the Client-to-Client Protocol.
+//
+// CTCP defines extended messages using the standard PRIVMSG and NOTICE
+// commands in IRC. This means that any CTCP messages are embedded inside the
+// normal message text. Clients that don't support CTCP simply show
+// the encoded message to the user.
+//
+// Most IRC clients support only a subset of the protocol, and only a few
+// commands are actually used. This package aims to implement the most basic
+// CTCP messages: a single command per IRC message. Quoting is not supported.
+//
+// Example using the irc.Message type:
+//
+// m := irc.ParseMessage(...)
+//
+// if tag, text, ok := ctcp.Decode(m.Trailing); ok {
+// // This is a CTCP message.
+// } else {
+// // This is not a CTCP message.
+// }
+//
+// Similar, for encoding messages:
+//
+// m.Trailing = ctcp.Encode("ACTION","wants a cookie!")
+//
+// Do not send a complete IRC message to Decode, it won't work.
