+The Zapping VBI library, in short ZVBI, provides functions to capture and
+decode VBI data. It is written in plain ANSI C with few dependencies on other
+tools and libraries, licensed under GPL.
+
+The vertical blanking interval (VBI) is an interval in a television signal
+that temporarily suspends transmission of the signal for the electron gun to
+move back up to the first line of the television screen to trace the next
+screen field.
+
+The vertical blanking interval can be used to carry data, since anything sent
+during the VBI would naturally not be displayed; various test signals, closed
+captioning, and other digital data can be sent during this time period.
