.SH NAME
libbus - A simple daemonless system for broadcasting messages locally
.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBbus\fP is a stupid-simple, thrilless, daemonless interprocess communication system for broadcasting message.
+\fBbus\fP is a stupid-simple, thrilless, daemonless interprocess
+communication system for broadcasting messages.
.SH RATIONALE
-We need an interprocess communication system similar to message queues. But it we need broadcasting rather than anycasting, so we have a fast, simple and daemonless system for announcing events to all processes whom might be interested.

.SH FUTURE DIRECTION
-Perhaps the ability to have groups and other permissions on bus, so they can be shared among users and be system-wide. Private and abstract buses might be interesting too, as well as timed out read and writes, and non-blocking writes.
