 +======Command Line Usage of EPIC5======
 +
 +There are a number of command line options available.
 +The basic command-line syntax is:
 +
 +   epic5 [<switches>] [<nickname> [<server list>]]
 +
 +The nickname may be at most 30 characters long.  The server list may be a
 +space-delimited list of server descriptions.  Each server name may use the
 +server:port notation if a port other than the default (usually 6667) is
 +desired.  The available switches are as follows:
 +
 +|-a         |Adds default servers and command line servers to server list.    |
 +|-b         |Runs EPIC in 'bot mode' in the background.                       |
 +|-c <chan>  |Join <chan> once connected to the server.                        |
 +|-d         |Runs EPIC in 'dumb mode' -- no fancy screen                      |
 +|-f         |Tells EPIC that your terminal will handle flow control.          |
 +|-F         |Tells EPIC to handle your flow control.                          |
 +|-h         |Prints a small help message that shows these options.            |
 +|-H <host>  |Use virtual <host> as your default hostname.                     |
 +|-l <file>  |Loads <file> instead of default ~/.epicrc.                       |
 +|-L <file>  |Loads <file> instead of default ~/.epicrc.                       |
 +|-n <nick>  |Uses <nick> as your default nickname.                            |
 +|-o         |Allow terminal IEXTEN handling (terminal eats %%^%%V and %%^%%O  |
 +|-O         |Disable terminal IEXTEN handling (terminal doesn't eat %%^%%V and %%^%%O)|
 +|-p <port>  |Uses the <port> you specify as the default port.                 |
 +|-q         |Tells EPIC not to load your ~/.epicrc.                           |
 +|-s         |The client will not connect to a server on startup.              |
 +|-v         |Print the version of EPIC and then exit.                         |
 +|-x         |Run in full X_DEBUG mode.                                        |
 +|-z <user>  |Uses <user> as your default username.                            |
 +
 +Because the client uses getopt(3), you can combine these options in any way
 +that is considered normal for your operating system.
