.SH NAME
shirc-link - Interhost channel linker for shirc(1)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B shirc-link [<user>@]<remotehost> <channel> 
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B shirc-link
estabilishes an encryped connection to
.B remotehost
and sets up a link between local and remote shirc
.B channel.
.PP
A compatible version of
.B shirc
must be installed on 
.B remotehost
for the link to work.
.SH BEHAVIOUR
On both ends of the connection: link startup/shutdown is notified,
remote joins/parts are notified, remote topic changes will be honoured.
.SH AUTHOR
Written by strk@keybit.net
.SH TODO
At link startup one end of the connection should use the topic
set from the other side. If only one host has a topic set this
is easy, but when both hosts have a topic set we have to decide
which one prevails (if any).
