+Summary of Operation
+--------------------
+nvramtool is a utility for reading/writing coreboot parameters and
+displaying information from the coreboot table.  It is intended for x86-based
+systems (both 32-bit and 64-bit) that use coreboot.
+
+The coreboot table resides in low physical memory, and may be accessed
+through the /dev/mem interface.  It is created at boot time by coreboot, and
+contains various system information such as the type of mainboard in use.  It
+specifies locations in the CMOS (nonvolatile RAM) where the coreboot
+parameters are stored.
+
+For information about coreboot, see http://www.coreboot.org/.
+
+Ideas for Future Improvements
+-----------------------------
+1.  Move the core functionality of this program into a shared library.
+2.  Consider adding options for displaying other BIOS-provided information
+    such as the MP table, ACPI table, PCI IRQ routing table, etc.
