+PACKAGE CONTENTS:
+
+  This package contains the following elements.
+
+  - libust
+    The actual userspace tracing library that must be linked to the
+    instrumented programs.
 
-- liburcu
-  Userspace RCU library, by Mathieu Desnoyers and Paul E. McKenney
-   * http://ltt.polymtl.ca/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=userspace-rcu.git;a=summary
-   * git://lttng.org/userspace-rcu.git
+  - ustctl
+    A program to control the tracing of userspace applications. It can list
+    markers, start the tracing, stop the tracing, enable/disable markers, etc.
 
-- libkcompat
-  Linux kernel userspace compatibility library.
-   * http://git.dorsal.polymtl.ca
-   * git://git.dorsal.polymtl.ca/git/libkcompat.git
+  - include
+    The public header files that will be installed on the system.
 
-Installation instruction:
+  - ust-consumerd
+    The daemon that collects trace data and writes it to the disk.
 
-- Download, compile and install liburcu and libkcompat.
-- In this package's tree, run ./configure.
-- Run make.
-- Run make install.
-- Run ldconfig.
-- See the manual in the doc/ directory for usage instructions.
+  - doc
+    The documentation.
 
-Package contents:
+  - tests
+    Various test programs
 
-- libust
-  The actual userspace tracing library that must be linked to the
-  instrumented programs.
+  - libustinstr-malloc
+    An example library that can be LD_PRELOAD'ed to instrument calls to malloc()
+    in any program without need to recompile it.
 
-- ustctl
-  A program to control the tracing of userspace applications. It can list
-  markers, start the tracing, stop the tracing, enable/disable markers, etc.
+  - libustfork
+    A library that is LD_PRELOAD'ed, and that hijacks calls to several system
+    calls in order to trace across these calls. It _has_ to be LD_PRELOAD'ed
+    in order to hijack calls. In contrast, libust may be linked at build time.
 
-- ustd
-  The daemon that collects trace data and writes it to the disk.
+  - libustctl
+    A library to control tracing in other processes. Used by ustctl.
 
-- Documentation
+  - libustcomm
+    A static library shared between libust, ust-consumerd and libustctl, that
+    provides functions that allow these components to communicate together.
 
-- hello
-  An example application that uses the userspace tracer.
+  - libustconsumer
+    A library to create ust consumers by registering callbacks, used by
+    ust-consumerd.
 
-- libmallocwrap
-  An example library that can be LD_PRELOAD'ed to instrument calls to malloc()
-  in any program without need to recompile it.
+  - snprintf
+    An asynchronous signal-safe version of snprintf.
 
-- libinterfork
-  A library that is LD_PRELOAD'ed, and that hijacks calls to several system
-  calls in order to trace across these calls.
+  - java
+    A simple library that uses JNI to allow tracing in java programs.
