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