+.TH LIBBUS 7 BUS
+.SH NAME
+libbus - A simple daemonless system for broadcasting messages locally
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.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
+None.
