-data records including the unpacking and packing of data records.
-Functionality is also included for managing waveform data as continuous
-traces.
+The miniSEED library provides a framework for manipulation of SEED
+data records, a format commonly used for seismological time series
+and related data.
-The library should work in Linux, BSD (and derivatives like macOS),
-Solaris and Win32 environments.
+The library includes the functionality to read and write data records,
+in addition to reconstructing time series from multiple records.
