-Libgpg-error
-============
+What is Libgpg-error
+====================
+
+Libgpg-error is a library that defines common error values for all
+GnuPG components. Among these are GPG, GPGSM, GPGME, GPG-Agent,
+libgcrypt, Libksba, DirMngr, Pinentry, SmartCard Daemon and more.
+Meanwhile Libgcrypt also sports functions commonly used by all GnuPG
+components and which are believed to be generally useful. The main
+components are
+
+ - Structured error codes and utility functions.
+
+ - Replacement functions for stdio stream (estream) to provide a
+ reliable set of printf features on all platforms. For convenience
+ macros are provided to make migration from stdio to estream easier
+ (ie. the prefix "es_")

+ - Generic Mutex implementation for all platforms using an ABI
+ independent of the underlying implementation.
+
+ - A lean gettext and iconv implementation for Windows.
+
+More components will be added over time. Most functions are prefixed
+with "gpgrt" (GnuPG Run Time) instead of "gpg_err" to indicate the
+long term plan to rename this library to gpgrt.
