+//! This file implements journaldriver, a small application that
+//! forwards logs from journald (systemd's log facility) to
+//! Stackdriver Logging.
+//!
+//! Log entries are read continously from journald and are forwarded
+//! to Stackdriver in batches.
+//!
+//! Stackdriver Logging has a concept of monitored resources. In the
+//! simplest case this monitored resource will be the GCE instance on
+//! which journaldriver is running.
+//!
+//! Information about the instance, the project and required security
+//! credentials are retrieved from Google's metadata instance on GCP.
+//!
+//! To run journaldriver on non-GCP machines, users must specify the
+//! `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`, `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` and
+//! `LOG_NAME` environment variables.
