+Command migrate-7 helps network staff migrate a network running Elemental-IRCd 6.6.2
+to Elemental-IRCd 7.0 by getting a copy of the network channel state into a json
+file on the disk. It will also be able to "replay" the network state into another
+installation of Elemental-IRCd 7.0.
+
+Because of the kind of data this tool needs to collect, it needs a server link to work.
