+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+**glances** [OPTIONS]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+**glances** is a cross-platform curses-based monitoring tool which aims
+to present a maximum of information in a minimum of space, ideally to
+fit in a classical 80x24 terminal or higher to have additional
+information. It can adapt dynamically the displayed information
+depending on the terminal size. It can also work in client/server mode.
+Remote monitoring could be done via terminal or web interface.
+
+**glances** is written in Python and uses the *psutil* library to get
+information from your system.
