+This is a helper utility to work with patches made available via a
+public-inbox archive like lore.kernel.org. It is written to make it
+easier to participate in a patch-based workflows, like those used in
+the Linux kernel development.
+
+The name "b4" was chosen for ease of typing and because B-4 was the
+precursor to Lore and Data in the Start Trek universe.

+See man/b4.5.rst for more information.
