NAME
       sic - simple irc client

SYNOPSIS
       sic [-h <host>] [-p <port>] [-n <nick>] [-k <keyword>] [-v]

DESCRIPTION
       sic  is an extremly fast, small and simple irc client.  It reads commands from standard input and prints all server output to standard out-
       put. It multiplexes also all channel traffic into one output, that you don't have to switch different channel buffers,  that's  actually  a
       feature.

OPTIONS
       -h <host>
	      Overrides the default host (irc6.oftc.net)

       -p <port>
	      Overrides the default port (6667)

       -n <nickname>
	      Override the default nick ($USER)

       -k <keyword>
	      Specifies the keyword to authenticate your nick on the host

       -v     Prints version information to standard output, then exits.

COMMANDS
       :j #channel
	      Join a channel

       :l #channel
	      Leave a channel

       :m #channel/user msg
	      Write a message to #channel/user

       :s #channel/user

       Everything which is not a command is simply send the server.
