+Varlink is an interface description format and protocol that aims to
+make services accessible to both humans and machines in the simplest
+feasible way.
+
+A varlink interface combines the classic UNIX command line options,
+STDIN/OUT/ERROR text formats, man pages, service metadata and provides
+the equivalent over a single file descriptor, a.k.a. “FD3”.
+
+Varlink is plain-text, type-safe, discoverable, self-documenting,
+remotable, testable, easy to debug. Varlink is accessible from any
+programming environment. See the Ideals page for more. And everybody
+likes Screenshots.
