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