+cstream is a general-purpose stream-handling tool like UNIX' dd,
+usually used in commandline-constructed pipes.
+
+- Sane commandline switch syntax.
+- Exact throughput limiting, on the incoming side.
+- Precise throughput reporting. Either at the end of the
+  transmission or everytime SIGUSR1 is received. Quite useful to ask
+  lengthy opertions how much data has been transferred yet, i.e. when
+  writing tapes. Reports are done in bytes/sec and if appropriate in
+  KB/sec or MB/sec, where 1K = 1024.
+- SIGHUP causes a clean shutdown before EOF on input.
+- Build-in support to write its PID to a file.
+- Build-in support for fifos. Example usage is a 'pseudo-device',
+  something that sinks or delivers data at an appropriate rate, but
+  looks like a file, i.e. if you test soundcard software.
+- Built-in data creation and sink, no more redirection of
+  /dev/null and /dev/zero. These special devices speed varies greatly
+  amoung operating systems, redirecting from it isn't appropriate
+  benchmarking and a waste of resources anyway.
+-  "gcc -Wall" clean source code, serious effort taken to avoid
+  undefined behavior in ANSI C or POSIX, except long long
+  is required. Limiting and reporting works on data amounts > 4 GB.
