+%description
+%{name} is a simple library for processing structured configuration
+files. The file format is more compact and more readable than XML. And
+unlike XML, it is type-aware, so it is not necessary to do string
+parsing in application code. The library includes bindings for both
+the C and C++ languages. It works on POSIX-compliant UNIX systems.
