+Purpose of the thorn:
+
+This thorn uses the HDF5 Stream Virtual File Driver to stream Carpet HDF5 data
+files via a socket to any connected clients.
+In combination with client programs, which are capable of receiving and
+postprocessing streamed HDF5 data, this thorn can be used to perform online
+remote visualisation of live data from running Carpet FMR/AMR simulations.
