(synopsis "Run arbitrary commands when files change")
(description
- "entr is a zero-configuration tool with no external build or run-time
-dependencies. The interface to entr is not only minimal, it aims to be simple
-enough to create a new category of ad hoc automation. These micro-tests
-reduce keystrokes, but more importantly they emphasize the utility of
-automated checks.")
+ "@acronym{entr, event notify test runner} reads a list of file names from
+standard input and executes a given command (including arguments) whenever any
+of them change. It aims to facilitate rapid feedback and automated testing.
+
+For example, you can use @command{entr} to automatically invoke @command{make}
+each time you modify a source code file. It supports interactive utilities and
+doesn't waste resources by polling for changes.")
