+summain: generate file manifests
+================================
+
+Summain generates file manifests, which contain metadata about the files,
+and a checksum of their content for regular files. The manifest can be
+generated for a directory tree at different points in time and compared
+(with diff) to see if something has changed.
+
+See the manual page summain.1 for more information.
