+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<smokeping> tool is the commandline part of the SmokePing system. Its
+main function is to run as a daemon and send Pings to all the Targets you
+have specified in the Config file. When you call B<smokeping> without
+arguments it will start as a daemon and do its work.
+
+If called with an argument, then further functions can be activated, as seen
+in the Synopsis above. The B<--email> function is explained in the
+documentation on the config file.
+
+The B<--filter> option allows you to run the daemon on a big config file,
+but have the config file filtered and only measure the entries that pass the
+filter. This is useful for remote measurement. Run Smokeping with two
+exclusive filters in two locations and rsync the rrds back to the webserver
+host where you run the cgi. Filters act on the section names in the config
+file. Multiple section names are concatenated with B</> like path names:
+
+ *** targets ***
+ + A
+ ....
+ + B
+ ...
+ ++ C
+
+This gives
+
+ /A
+
+and
+
+ /B, /B/C
+
+If I want to monitor /A my filter would look like this:
+
+ --filter=/A
+
+Filters follow regular expression syntax. The are always anchored at the tip of the string.
+by adding a B<!> to the front of the filter string you negate it. Matching entries will be excluded from monitoring.
+Multiple B<--filter> arguments can be used to assemble complex filters:
+
+ --filter=/A --filter=/B
+
+would include all the targets
+
+ --filter=/A --filter=/B --filter=!/B/C
+
+would include all but /B/C.
+
+The B<--makepod> does get used internally to produce the documentation on
+the SmokePing configuration file.
+
+Please refer to the installation document for detailed setup instructions.
+
+=head1 SETUP
+
+When installing SmokePing, this file has to be adjusted to fit your
+local system. Three paths have to be entered.
+
+One pointing to your B<rrdtool> installation
+
+ use lib qw(/usr/pack/rrdtool-1.0.33-to/lib/perl);
+
+One pointing to the place where you have installed the SmokePing libraries
+
+ use lib qw(/home/oetiker/public_html/smokeping/lib);
+
+The third path is the argument to the Smokeping::main command. It points to
+the SmokePing configuration file.
+
+ use Smokeping;
+ Smokeping::main("/home/oetiker/.smokeping/config");
