+degesch - an experimental IRC client
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+*degesch* [_OPTION_]...
+
+Description
+-----------
+*degesch* is a scriptable IRC client for the command line. On the first run
+it will welcome you with an introductory message. Should you ever get lost,
+use the */help* command to obtain more information on commands or options.
+
+Options
+-------
+*-f*, *--format*::
+ Format IRC text from the standard input, converting colour sequences and
+ other formatting marks to ANSI codes retrieved from the *terminfo*(5)
+ database:
++
+```
+printf '\x02bold\x02\n' | degesch -f
+```
++
+This feature may be used to preview server MOTD files.
+
+*-h*, *--help*::
+ Display a help message and exit.
+
+*-V*, *--version*::
+ Output version information and exit.
+
+Key bindings
+------------
+Most key bindings are inherited from the frontend in use, which is either GNU
+Readline or BSD editline. A few of them, however, are special to the IRC client
+or assume a different function. This is a list of all local overrides and
+their respective function names:
+
+*M-p*::
+ Go up in history for this buffer (normally mapped to *C-p*).
+*M-n*::
+ Go down in history for this buffer (normally mapped to *C-n*).
+*C-p*, *F5*: *previous-buffer*::
+ Switch to the previous buffer in order.
+*C-n*, *F6*: *next-buffer*::
+ Switch to the next buffer in order.
+*M-TAB*: *switch-buffer*::
+ Switch to the last buffer, i.e., the one you were in before.
+*M-0*, *M-1*, ..., *M-9*: *goto-buffer*::
+ Go to the N-th buffer (normally sets a repeat counter).
+ Since there is no buffer number zero, *M-0* goes to the tenth one.
+*M-!*: *goto-highlight*::
+ Go to the first following buffer with an unseen highlight.
+*M-a*: *goto-activity*::
+ Go to the first following buffer with unseen activity.
+*PageUp*: *display-backlog*::
+ Show the in-memory backlog for this buffer in the backlog helper,
+ which is almost certainly the *less*(1) program.
+*M-h*: *display-full-log*::
+ Show the log file for this buffer in the backlog helper.
+*M-H*: *toggle-unimportant*::
+ Hide all join, part and quit messages, as well as all channel mode changes
+ that only relate to user channel modes. Intended to reduce noise in
+ channels with lots of people.
+*M-e*: *edit-input*::
+ Run an editor on the command line, making it easy to edit multiline
+ messages. Remember to save the file before exit.
+*M-m*: *insert-attribute*::
+ The next key will be interpreted as a formatting mark to insert:
+ *c* for colours (optionally followed by numbers for the foreground
+ and background), *i* for italics, *b* for bold text, *u* for underlined,
+ *x* for struck-through, *v* for inverse text and *o* resets all formatting.
+*C-l*: *redraw-screen*::
+ Should there be any issues with the display, this will clear the terminal
+ screen and redraw all information.
+
+Additionally, *C-w* and *C-u* in editline behave the same as they would in
+Readline or the "vi" command mode, even though the "emacs" mode is enabled
+by default.
+
+Bindings can be customized in your _.inputrc_ or _.editrc_ file. Both libraries
+support conditional execution based on the program name. Beware that it is easy
+to make breaking changes.
+
+Environment
+-----------
+*VISUAL*, *EDITOR*::
+ The editor program to be launched by the *edit-input* function.
+ If neither variable is set, it defaults to *vi*(1).
+
+Files
+-----
+*degesch* follows the XDG Base Directory Specification.
+
+_~/.config/degesch/degesch.conf_::
+ The program's configuration file. Preferrably use internal facilities, such
+ as the */set* command, to make changes in it.
+
+_~/.local/share/degesch/logs/_::
+ When enabled by *behaviour.logging*, log files are stored here.
+
+_~/.local/share/degesch/plugins/_::
+_/usr/local/share/degesch/plugins/_::
+_/usr/share/degesch/plugins/_::
+ Plugins are searched for in these directories, in order.
+
+Bugs
+----
+The editline (libedit) frontend is more of a proof of concept that mostly seems
+to work but exhibits bugs that are not our fault.

+
+Description
+-----------
+*kike* is a basic IRC daemon for single-server networks, suitable for testing
+and private use. When run without a configuration file, it will start listening

+
+Options
+-------
+*-d*, *--debug*::
+ Do not daemonize, print more information on the standard error stream
+ to help debug various issues.
+
+*-h*, *--help*::
+ Display a help message and exit.
+

+ Output version information and exit.
+
+*--write-default-cfg*[**=**__PATH__]::
+ Write a configuration file with defaults, show its path and exit.
++
+The file will be appropriately commented.
++
+When no _PATH_ is specified, it will be created in the user's home directory,
+contrary to what you might expect from a server.

+Name
+----
+zyklonb - an experimental IRC bot
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+*zyklonb* [_OPTION_]...
+
+Description
+-----------
+*zyklonb* is a modular IRC bot with a programming language-agnostic plugin
+architecture based on co-processes.
+
+Options
+-------
+*-d*, *--debug*::
+ Print more information to help debug various issues.
+
+*-h*, *--help*::
+ Display a help message and exit.
+
+*-V*, *--version*::
+ Output version information and exit.
+
+*--write-default-cfg*[**=**__PATH__]::
+ Write a configuration file with defaults, show its path and exit.
++
+The file will be appropriately commented.
+
+Commands
+--------
+The bot accepts the following commands when they either appear quoted by the
+*prefix* string on a channel or unquoted as a private message sent directly
+to the bot, on the condition that the sending user matches the *admin*
+regular expression or that it is left unset:
+
+*quote* [_message_]::
+ Forwards the message to the IRC server as-is.
+*quit* [_reason_]::
+ Quits the IRC server, with an optional reason string.
+*status*::
+ Sends back a report about its state and all loaded plugins.
+*load* _plugin_[, _plugin_]...::
+ Tries to load the given plugins.
+*unload* _plugin_[, _plugin_]...::
+ Tries to unload the given plugins.
+*reload* _plugin_[, _plugin_]...::
+ The same as *unload* immediately followed by *load*.
+
+Plugins
+-------
+Plugins communicate with the bot over their standard input and output streams
+using the IRC protocol. (Caveat: the standard C library doesn't automatically
+flush FILE streams for pipes on newlines.) A special *ZYKLONB* command is
+introduced for RPC, with the following subcommands:
+
+*ZYKLONB get_config* _key_::
+ Request the value of the given configuration option. If no such option
+ exists, the value will be empty. The response will be delivered in
+ the following format:
++
+```
+ZYKLONB :value
+```
++
+This is particularly useful for retrieving the *prefix* string.
+
+*ZYKLONB print* _message_::
+ Make the bot print the _message_ on its standard output.
+
+*ZYKLONB register*::
+ Once a plugin issues this command, it will start receiving all of the bot's
+ incoming IRC traffic, which includes data from the initialization period.
+
+All other commands will be forwarded directly to the IRC server.
+
+Files
+-----
+*zyklonb* follows the XDG Base Directory Specification.
+
+_~/.config/zyklonb/zyklonb.conf_::
+ The bot's configuration file. Use the *--write-default-cfg* option
+ to create a new one for editing.
+
+_~/.local/share/zyklonb/_::
+ The initial working directory for plugins, in which they may create private
+ databases or other files as needed.
+
+_~/.local/share/zyklonb/plugins/_::
+_/usr/local/share/zyklonb/plugins/_::
+_/usr/share/zyklonb/plugins/_::
+ Plugins are searched for in these directories, in order, unless
+ the *plugin_dir* configuration option overrides this.
