 slstatus - suckless status
 ==========================
-slstatus is a suckless status monitor for window managers that use WM_NAME
-(e.g. dwm) or stdin to fill the status bar.
+slstatus is a small tool for providing system status information to other
+programs over the EWMH property of the root window (used by dwm(1)) or
+standard input/output. It is designed to be as efficient as possible by
+only issuing the minimum of system calls required.
