 ## What is it?
 
-When developing a C++ project on for POSIX compatible operting systems (eg GNU/Linux), you may wish to run one or more additional child processes each with access to their own terminal emulator instance, and the ability to communicate bi-directionally with the parent process.
+satellite_terminal automates the process of launching a client process connected to it's own terminal emulator instance from within a parent process, linked with an arbitrary number of [named pipes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe) to allow bidirectional interprocess communication.
 
-For instance, in the simplest case if the parent process occupies it's terminal emulator instance with it's own output, you may wish to spawn a child process with it's own terminal emulator instance to display messages from the parent process and receive user input to send back.
+satellite_terminal leverages the functionality defined in the [unistd.h](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unistd.h), [sys/stat.h](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/C_Programming/POSIX_Reference/sys/stat.h) & [fcntl.h](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904875/basedefs/fcntl.h.html) headers, and as-such will work only with [POSIX compatible](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX) operating systems and environments. satellite_terminal has to-date been compiled and tested on GNU/Linux.
 
-This can be implemented within a C or C++ project on compatible operting systems using the functionality defined in the [unistd.h](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unistd.h), [sys/stat.h](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/C_Programming/POSIX_Reference/sys/stat.h) & [fcntl.h](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904875/basedefs/fcntl.h.html) headers to spawn a child process, and create [named pipes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe) that provide a communication channel to-which and from-which the parent and child processes can write and read.
-
-satellite_terminal is a simple library that makes it easy to incorporate this functionality within your own C++ projects by fully automating this process.
+satellite_terminal is easy to incorporate and use within your own projects, as the basic examples below will demonstrate.
