+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.
+
