+ (description "This module reads a file backwards line by line. It is
+simple to use, memory efficient and fast. It supports both an object and a
+tied handle interface.
+
+It is intended for processing log and other similar text files which typically
+have their newest entries appended to them. By default files are assumed to
+be plain text and have a line ending appropriate to the OS. But you can set
+the input record separator string on a per file basis.")
