+     "Radare2 is a complete framework for reverse-engineering, debugging, and
+analyzing binaries.  It is composed of a set of small utilities that can be
+used together or independently from the command line.
+
+Radare2 is built around a scriptable disassembler and hexadecimal editor that
+support a variety of executable formats for different processors and operating
+systems, through multiple back ends for local and remote files and disk
+images.
+
+It can also compare (@dfn{diff}) binaries with graphs and extract information
+like relocation symbols.  It is able to deal with malformed binaries, making
+it suitable for security research and analysis.")
