      Description: extremely fast, small and simple irc client
      Long Description: 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 multiplexes also all channel traffic into one output, that you don't have to switch different channel buffers, that's actually a feature.
