+Synopsis:
+   topic <channel> [<new topic>]
+   topic [<new topic>]
+   
+Description:
+   With this command you can change the current topic of the specified
+   channel.  If no new topic is specified, the current one is displayed.
+   If the new topic is not specified AND either the channel name is prefixed
+   with a hyphen (a "-") or the hyphen is the only argument, the topic
+   for the assumed channel will be removed.
+
+Examples:
+   To set a new topic on your channel:
+      /topic #blah Welcome to #blah, a very serious channel.
+      or
+      /topic Welcome to #blah, a very serious channel.
+
+   To view the current topic for your channel:
+      /topic #blah
+      or
+      /topic
+      
+   To unset the topic for your channel:
+      /topic -#blah
+      or
+      /topic -
+
+See Also:
+   mode(1); on(5) topic
+
+Restrictions:
+   On channels with channel mode +t set, only channel operators may
+   change the topic (though anyone may view it).
+
+Other Notes:
+   Most modern IRC servers support the 333 numeric.  When using TOPIC to
+   display the current topic, it will also display the person who placed
+   it.  This feature originated on the Undernet.
