+==============================
+zerobinpaste command-line tool
+==============================
+
+zerobinpaste is a simple CLI tool (analogous to pastebinit or wgetpaste) to use
+with files or shell redirection in terminal or simple scripts.
+
+Example use-cases might look like::
+
+    % zerobinpaste README.rst
+    http://some.0bin.site/paste/0cc3d8a8...
+
+    % grep error /var/log/syslog | zerobinpaste
+    http://some.0bin.site/paste/81fd1324...
+
+    % zerobinpaste docs/en/*.rst
+    easy_install.rst http://some.0bin.site/paste/9adc576a...
+    apache_install.rst http://some.0bin.site/paste/01408cbd...
+    options.rst http://some.0bin.site/paste/921b2768...
+    ...
+
+
+    % ps axlf | zerobinpaste | mail -s "Process tree on $(date)" root
+
+Produced links can then be copy-pasted to some IRC channel or used in whatever
+other conceivable way.
+
+Tool does encryption by itself on the client machine and key (after hashmark) is
+never sent to server or anywhere but the tool's stdout stream (e.g. terminal).
+
+Tool has to be built with `node.js`_ separately (see below).
+
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+At least the pastebin site (main URL where you'd paste stuff with the browser)
+has to be specified for the tool to use either via -u (--url) option (can be
+simplified with shell alias - e.g. ``alias zp='zerobinpaste -u http://some.0bin.site``)
+or in the "~/.zerobinpasterc" configuration file (json format).
+
+| Non-option arguments are interpreted as files to upload/paste contents of.
+| If no arguments are specified, data to paste will be read from stdin stream.
+
+Simple configuration file may look like this:
+
+    {"url": "http://some.0bin.site"}
+
+Any options (in the long form, e.g. "url" for --url above) that are allowed on
+the command-line can be specified there.
+
+Run the tool with -h or --help option to see full list of supported parameters.
+
+
+Build / Installation
+====================
+
+In essence:
+
+		0bin% cd tools
+		0bin/tools% make
+		...
+		0bin/tools% cp zerobinpaste ~/bin   # install to PATH
+
+"npm" binary (packaged and installed with node.js) is required to pull in build
+dependencies, if necessary, and "node" binary is required for produced binary to
+run.
+
+Use "make" in "tools" path to produce non-minified runnable "zerobinpaste"
+script there.
+
+``make ugly`` command can be used instead of ``make`` to create "minified"
+version (using/installing uglifyjs_, about 25% smaller in size).
+
+Resulting "zerobinpaste" script requires only node.js ("node" binary) installed
+to run and can be placed in any of the PATH dirs (e.g. "~/bin",
+"/usr/local/bin") to be run just as "zerobinpaste".
+
+
+Why node.js and not python
+==========================
+
+Unfortunately, it's fairly complex and unreliable to replicate non-trivial and
+undocumented encryption protocol that SJCL_ convenience methods employ, and any
+mistake in encryption is guaranteed to produce unreadable paste.
+
+Current implementation uses same JavaScript code (and V8 node.js engine) that
+browsers do, hence can be fairly simple and robust.
+
+Future development plans include supporting configurable, less complex and more
+widespread encryption schemas, allowing for simplier non-javascript client as
+well.
+
+See `related pull request`_ for more details.
