"""This file contains XChat scrollback log file parser in plaso.

Information updated 06 September 2013.

Besides the logging capability, the XChat IRC client has the option to
record the text for opened tabs. So, when rejoining a particular channel
and/or a particular conversation, XChat will display the last messages
exchanged. This artifact could be present, if not disabled, even if
normal logging is disabled.

From the XChat FAQ (http://xchatdata.net/Using/FAQ):

Q: 'How do I keep text from previous sessions from being displayed when I
join a channel?'
R: 'Starting in XChat 2.8.4, XChat implemented the Scrollback feature which
displays text from the last time you had a particular tab open.
To disable this setting for all channels, Go to Settings -> Preferences
-> Logging and uncheck Display scrollback from previous session.
In XChat 2.8.6, XChat implemented both Per Channel Logging, and
Per Channel Scrollbacks. If you are on 2.8.6 or newer, you can disable
loading scrollback for just one particular tab name by right clicking on
the tab name, selecting Settings, and then unchecking Reload scrollback'

The log file format differs from logging format, but it's quite simple
'T 1232315916 Python interface unloaded'
<T><space><decimal timestamp><space><text><\n>

The time reported in the log is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970
00:00:00 UTC (from source code, time(0)). The <text> part could contain some
'decorators' (bold, underline, colors indication, etc.), so the parser
should strip those control fields.
