DESCRIPTION

14       irccat  sends  a single line message to a host running subybot with the
15       supybot-irccat plugin. Such a server listens to  a  specific  port  and
16       waits for formatted messages which are relayed to one or more irc chan‐
17       nels.
18
19       The supybot-irccat plugin defines sections. Each section has a name,  a
20       password  and  a  list of channels. irccat refers to such a section and
21       it's password. The channels which recieves the message  is  handled  by
22       the server.
23
24       Besides  the  mandatory  parameters  a password must be given either by
25       using -s or through the environment, see below.
