+libyrmcds
+=========
+
+libyrmcds is a [memcached][] client library written in C.
+This is a companion to [yrmcds][], a memcached compatible KVS.
+
+In addition to the library itself, a client program called `yc` is included.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+* Minimalistic.
+
+ libyrmcds does *not* provide any rich features like consistent hashing.
+ Instead, it can be used as a base library to implement such rich
+ features.
+
+* Designed for binary protocol.
+
+ In order to access the true power of the binary protocol, libyrmcds
+ is designed primarily for binary protocol. Limited support for the
+ text protocol is provided, though.
+
+* Support for [yrmcds][] extensions.
+
+ Specifically, [the server-side locking][locking] and [the counter extension][counter] is supported.
+
+* Separated send / recv operations.
+
+ Although the socket used in libyrmcds is blocking, receiving results
+ from the server is separated from the sending operations. You can
+ even use a different thread to receive results asynchronously.
+
+* Optional compression with [LZ4][].
+
+ Large objects can be transparently compressed/uncompressed with
+ [LZ4][] compression algorithm.
+
+Build
+-----
+
+Just run `make`.
+
+To support [transparent LZ4 compression][compress], obtain LZ4 source
+code and rebuild the library as follows:
+
+```
+$ make lz4
+$ make clean; make
+```
+
+Install
+-------
+
+Place `yrmcds.h` and `libyrmcds.a` to appropriate directories.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+See [USAGE.md](USAGE.md).
