+    (description
+     "Package poller is a file-descriptor multiplexer.  It allows concurent
+Read and Write operations from and to multiple file-descriptors without
+allocating one OS thread for every blocked operation.  It operates similarly
+to Go's netpoller (which multiplexes network connections) without requiring
+special support from the Go runtime.  It can be used with tty devices,
+character devices, pipes, FIFOs, and any file-descriptor that is poll-able,
+can be used with select(2), epoll(7), etc.
+
+In addition, package poller allows the user to set timeouts (deadlines) for
+read and write operations, and also allows for safe cancelation of blocked
+read and write operations; a Close from another go-routine safely cancels
+ongoing (blocked) read and write operations.
+
+It's an active fork of @url{https://github.com/npat-efault/poller}.")
