.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 messages.
+.BR bus
+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 we need broadcasting rather than anycasting, so we have a fast,
simple and daemonless system for announcing events to any processes that
might be interested.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTION
-Timed out read and writes will be added.
+None.
