+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+haskell-blaze-builder: haskell-blaze-builder (Efficient buffered output)
+haskell-blaze-builder:
+haskell-blaze-builder: This library provides an abstraction of buffered output of byte
+haskell-blaze-builder: streams and several convenience functions to exploit it. For
+haskell-blaze-builder: example, it allows to efficiently serialize Haskell values to lazy
+haskell-blaze-builder: bytestrings with a large average chunk size. The large average
+haskell-blaze-builder: chunk size allows to make good use of cache prefetching in later
+haskell-blaze-builder: processing steps (e.g. compression) and reduces the sytem call
+haskell-blaze-builder: overhead when writing the resulting lazy bytestring to a file or
+haskell-blaze-builder: sending it over the network.
