SYNTAX

       xaric [-b] [-f] [-F] [-q] [-a] [-x] [-v]
       [-p port] [-H hostname] [-r file] [-n nickname] [-l file] [-L file]

DESCRIPTION

       Xaric  is a UNIX irc client similer to BitchX or ircII. I would impress
       you with a list of features, but since it has  no  impressive  features
       (and  lacks a few important ones) that probably is not a good idea. The
       whole reason for Xaric was to remove all of the bogus, broken crap  and
       silly features from BitchX and have a nice colorful client.

OPTIONS

       -H <hostname>
              Use  the IP address of the specified hostname as the IP you con-
              nect to the IRC server with.  This is very common  with  virtual
              hosting.  It can also be used if gethostname(3) doesn't return a
              hostname.

       -p <port>
              Connect to the IRC server on the port specified instead  of  the
              default that you set in your config.h file.

       -n <nickname>
              When  connecting  to the IRC server, use nickname instead of the
              default of your UNIX login name.

       -l <file>
              This option will let you load file instead of your ~/.ircrc

       -L <file>
              This option does the same thing as -l, except in  this  case  it
              also  expands  $  expandos  -b Load your ~/.ircrc file after you
              connect to the IRC server, instead of before.

       -f     If your term uses flow controls (^S/^Q),  run  xaric  with  this
              option and it will not.

       -F     Your terminal doesn't use flow controls (this is a default).

       -q     Do not load your ~/.ircrc

       -a     Adds default servers and command line servers to server list

       -x     Run xaric in "debug" mode.

       -v     Tells you about the version of xaric that you are running.
