+ * The {@code jgvariant} command line tool.
+ *
+ * <p>The {@link eu.mulk.jgvariant.tool} module contains a tool called
+ * {@code jgvariant} that can be used to manipulate GVariant-formatted
+ * files from the command line.  Its primary purpose is to enable the
+ * scripting of OSTree repository management tasks.
+ *
+ * <p>The {@link eu.mulk.jgvariant.tool.Main} class defines the entry point
+ * of the tool.
+ *
+ * <p>Usage example (dumping the contents of an OSTree summary file):
+ *
+ * {@snippet lang="sh" :
+ * $ jgvariant ostree summary read ./jgvariant-ostree/src/test/resources/ostree/summary
+ * }
+ *
+ * <p>Output:
+ *
+ * {@snippet lang="json" :
+ * {
+ *     "entries": [
+ *         {
