Subpackage Descriptions
set This is the hexchat:std metapackage. It pulls in all subpackages of hexchat:std.
primary HexChat is an IRC chat program. It allows you to join multiple IRC channels (chat rooms) at the same time, talk publicly, private one-on-one conversations etc. HexChat is based on XChat, but unlike XChat it's completely free for both Windows and Unix-like systems. Since XChat is Open Source, it's perfectly legal.

nls This is the native language support subpackage of the hexchat:std port.
man This is the man page subpackage of the hexchat:std port.
