+# rsvr -- a in-memory file reservoir
+
+rsvr is a small helper utility that receives data from non-seekable
+sources on `stdin` such as a pipe or a socket, placing it into a in-memory
+file resorvoir (it also can read from regular, seekable files). When the
+source is closed (or end-of-file is reached) the subsequent command is
+executed.
+
+There are no options to set. Usage is as simple as
+
+    rsvr <subsequent command with argument>
+
+With the source data being read from `stdin`.
+
+# Example
+
+    # download a PDF from the web and show it using MuPDF
+    curl <some URL> | rsvr mupdf /dev/stdin
