-sic (simple irc client)
+sic (simple irc client from suckless.org)
sic is an extremely simple IRC client. It consists of less than 250
lines of code.
-The default host is "irc.oftc.net" and the default port is 6667. You
-can change these by setting IRCHOST and/or IRCPORT in the script's
-environment, e.g.:
+You can control the build via environment variables:
-# IRCHOST=chat.freenode.org IRCPORT=6668 ./sic.SlackBuild
+IRCHOST - sets the default IRC server (default: irc.oftc.net).
+IRCPORT - sets the default port (default: 6667).
+SLASH - set SLASH=yes to change the command prefix from a colon (:) to
+ a slash (/), to make sic work more like other IRC clients.
+
+For even finer-grained control, you can copy config.def.h from the
+sic source to config.h in the SlackBuild directory, and edit it before
+building.
+
+If you want to apply any patches to the sic source, see patches/README
+for instructions.
