+# Process List Library for Go
+
+go-ps is a library for Go that implements OS-specific APIs to list and
+manipulate processes in a platform-safe way. The library can find and
+list processes on Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows.
+
+If you're new to Go, this library has a good amount of advanced Go educational
+value as well. It uses some advanced features of Go: build tags, accessing
+DLL methods for Windows, cgo for Darwin, etc.
+
+How it works:
+
+ * **Darwin** uses the `sysctl` syscall to retrieve the process table.
+ * **Unix** uses the procfs at `/proc` to inspect the process tree.
+ * **Windows** uses the Windows API, and methods such as
+ `CreateToolhelp32Snapshot` to get a point-in-time snapshot of
+ the process table.
+
+## Installation
+
+Install using standard `go get`:
+
+```
+$ go get github.com/mitchellh/go-ps
+...
+```
+
+## TODO
+
+Want to contribute? Here is a short TODO list of things that aren't
+implemented for this library that would be nice:
+
+ * FreeBSD support
+ * Plan9 support
