+cat << EOF
+PodSleuth is a tool to discover detailed model information about an Apple (TM)
+iPod (TM). Its primary role is to be run as a callout by HAL [1] because root
+access is needed to scan the device for required information. When the model
+information is discovered, it is merged into HAL as properties for other
+applications to use.
+
+With PodSleuth installed, applications can expect to have rich iPod (TM)
+metadata merged into the device tree on the iPod data volume node. PodSleuth
+metadata properties are in the org.banshee-project.podsleuth namespace.
+
+PodSleuth is based on lessons learned from the old libipoddevice [2] project.
+It is a cumulation of 2 years of research, backwards and forwards device
+compatibility, and extensive device coverage and user testing. It deprecates
+the libipoddevice project in use and simplifies information access for
+top level applications.
