+//! File manifests.
+//!
+//! This crate defines the [`ManifestEntry`] struct to represent an
+//! entry in a file manifest. The entry contains data about each file.
+//! A manifest can be produced of some data, and later, a new manifest
+//! can be produced and compared with the original. If the manifests
+//! have changed, the data has changed. If they haven't changed, the
+//! data has probably not changed.
+//!
+//! Such manifests can be used, for example, to verify that data that
+//! has been restored from a backup is the same as what was backed up.
+//!
+//! This crate uses Linux metadata of files.
+//!
+//! ~~~
+//! let m = std::fs::metadata(".").unwrap();
+//! let e = summain::ManifestEntry(m);
+//! println!("{}", serde_yaml::to_string(e).unwrap());
+//! ~~~
+//!
+//! The output is something like:
+//!
+//! ~~~yaml
+//! path: "."
+//! atime: 1606565868
+//! atime_nsec: 824368155
+//! mode: drwxrwxr-x
+//! mtime: 1606565867
+//! mtime_nsec: 500355545
