(description
- "GNU recutils is a set of tools and libraries to access human-editable,
-text-based databases called recfiles. The data is stored as a sequence of
-records, each record containing an arbitrary number of named fields.")
+ "Recutils is a set of tools and libraries for creating and
+manipulating text-based, human-editable databases. Despite being text-based,
+databases created with Recutils carry all of the expected features such as
+unique fields, primary keys, time stamps and more. Many different field types
+are supported, as is encryption.")
