.SH DESCRIPTION
.B sic
is an extremly fast, small and simple irc client. It reads commands from
standard input and prints all server output to standard output. It multiplexes
also all channel traffic into one output, that you don't have to switch
different channel buffers, that's actually a feature.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-a " address "
Lets you specify the address which
.B sic
uses to listen for connections. The syntax for
.I address

system and has the form
.B tcp!hostname!port
for tcp sockets.

Specifies the password to authenticate the nick on the server.
