-.SH NAME

-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBirc\fP [\fB-p\fP \fIportnum\fP] [\fB-c\fP \fIchannel\fP] [ \fInickname\fP [ \fIserver\fP ]]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.LP
-\fBIrc\fP is a user interface to the Internet Relay Chat, a CB-like
-interactive discussion environment.  It is structured into \fIchannels\fP,
-which are public discussion forums, and also allows for private intercommunication.
-Each participant has a \fInickname\fP, which is the one specified in the command
-line or else his login name.
-.LP
-Once invoked, \fBirc\fP connects as a client to the specified server,
-\fIserver\fP or to the default one (see below).  The screen splits into a dialogue
-window (the major part
-of the screen) and a command line, from which messages can be sent and
-commands given to control irc.
-.SH COMMAND SYNTAX
-The syntax of irc commands is of the form \fB/COMMAND\fP.  The most notable
-ones are listed below.  For an uptodate list, use the \fBHELP\fP command
-of \fBirc\fP.  Case is ignored.
-.IP "\fB/ADMIN\fR [\fIserver\fP]"
-Prints administrative information about an IRC \fIserver\fP.
-.IP "\fB/AWAY\fP [\fImessage\fP]"
