+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+irc.c [*-n NICK*] [*-u USER*] [*-s SERVER*] [*-p PORT*] [*-l LOGFILE*] [*-t*] [*-h*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+**irc.c** is a simple IRC client. Features:
+
+  * infinite scrollback
+  * automatic reconnection
+  * utf8 support (inputting is still to do)
+  * line editing (emacs like keybindings)
+  * activity markers
+  * logging
+  * terminal resizes (inside an xterm)
+
+The user interface uses multiple windows. The first window is always
+the server window, and each channel or private message conversation
+gets its own window. Press **^N** and **^P** for next/previous window.
+
+There is no config file. Options are set on the command line and/or
+in the environment.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+-n NICK
+  Sets the nickname (default: **IRCNICK** from environment; if not set, the
+  username from **-u** or **USER**).
+
+-u USER
+  Sets the username (default: **USER** from environment, or *anonymous* if not set).
+
+-s SERVER
+  Server to connect to (default: irc.oftc.net).
+
+-p PORT
+  Port to connect to (default: 6667).
+
+-l FILE
+  File to log recieved data (default: none). If the file already
+  exists, new data is appended to it.
+
+-t
+  Use a secured connection. For most IRC servers, you'll also have to set
+  **-p 6697** (or whatever port the server uses for secure connections).
+
+-h
+  Display help.
+
+COMMANDS
+========
+
+IRC commands are *not* prefixed with a slash, in this client.
+
+**j** *channel*
+  Join a channel and create a new window for it.
+
+**l**
+  Leave (part) the currently displayed channel and close its window.
+
+**m** *nick* *message*
+  Send a private message. This creates a new window for the conversation.
+
+**r** *text*
+  Send raw *text* to the server (like **/QUOTE** in other clients).
+
+**q**
+  Quit. There is no way to send a quit message.
+
+KEYSTROKES
+==========
+
+**^N**
+  Next window.
+
+**^P**
+  Previous window.
+
+**PageUp**
+  Scroll up.
+
+**PageDown**

+
+Emacs-style editing keys are also supported (**^U**, **^W**, etc).
+

+  IRC clients, which use **IRCUSER**.
