+Usage
+=====
+Since sic uses stdin and stdout as its user interfaces, it is easy to
+combine it with other tools if you need more features. That way sic
+becomes an even better IRC client.
+
+History
+-------
+If you want to store what is being said, you can use the tee(1) command
+with sic:
+
+ # sic | tee -a sic_history
+
+Highlighting
+------------
+If you want to receive an alert in case someone mention your username,
+you can use awk(1):
+
+ # sic | awk '/username/ ~ {printf ""}1'
+
+Using a tool like awk(1) would even allows you to be highlighted on
+specific channels for example. You can of course combine it with the
+tee(1) command above:
+
+ # sic | tee -a sic_history | awk '/username/ ~ {printf ""}1'
