+.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
+is taken (along with many other profound ideas) from the Plan 9 operating
+system and has the form
+.B tcp!hostname!port
+for tcp sockets.
+.BI \-p " password"
+Specifies the password to authenticate the nick on the server.
+.TP
+.BI \-n " nick "
+Specifies the nick name (default: $USER).
+.TP
+.BI \-f " fullname "
+Specifies the full name.
+.BI \-v
+Prints version information to standard output, then exits.
