Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Previously in the man page there was documented non implemented option --usage. This was leftover from old irssi version when popt was used. Later the code switched to glib's goption, but the documentation wasn't change. The documentation was updated and it is now correct.
