+Eeze is a library for manipulating devices with an extremely simple api.
+It interfaces directly with device subsystems, avoiding such middleman daemons as
+udisks/upower or hal to immediately gather device information the instant it
+becomes known to the OS. This can be used to determine such things as:
+ * If a cdrom has a disk inserted
+ * The temperature of a cpu core
+ * The remaining power left in a battery
+ * The current power consumption of various parts
+ * Monitor in realtime the status of peripheral devices
+
+Each of the above examples can be performed by using only a single eeze
+function, as one of the primary focuses of the library is to reduce the
+complexity of managing devices.
+
+Eeze 1.1 adds more detailed disk detection as well as filesystem mount point manipulation.
+Using a combination of udev and mount, it is possible to easily write disk-based mount services
+which do not rely on any external processes or libraries aside from Eeze.
