+Overview
+========
+
+This is a small C library abstracting a thread pool, used by some other
+numerical relativity libraries. This implementation simply wraps OpenMP.
+
+If you modify the code, we ask that you share your changes with the author (e.g.
+via email).
+
+Building and installation
+=========================
+
+The library uses the meson build system. A C11-compliant compiler and a POSIX
+environment are expected.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+The public C API is described in the threadpool.h header.
+
+Licence
+=======
+
+This library is free software, available under GNU GPLv3 (see the LICENCE file
+for full licence text).
