+	  Target Communication Framework Agent is an example application
+	  using the Target Communication Framework Library.
+
+	  Target Communication Framework is universal, extensible, simple,
+	  lightweight, vendor agnostic framework for tools and targets to
+	  communicate for purpose of debugging, profiling, code patching and
+	  other device software development needs. tcf-agent is a daemon,
+	  which provides TCF services that can be used by local and remote clients.
