-fsmon: A Real-Time Btrfs I/O Monitor
\ No newline at end of file
+`fsmon` monitors the I/O activity of Btrfs filesystems in real time, displaying bandwidth and IOPS statistics for detected filesystems and their devices.
+
+It combines I/O statistics from all member devices of each Btrfs filesystem, providing a unified view of the filesystem's overall activity.
+
+## Features
+
+- Real-time monitoring of read/write bandwidth and IOPS.
+- Visual charts for I/O statistics.
+- Dynamic terminal size handling.
+- Lightweight and efficient, leveraging sysfs for minimal overhead.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.6 or higher.
+- Btrfs filesystems mounted on the system.
+- Sufficient permissions to access `/sys/fs/btrfs` and related devices in `/sys/block`.
+
+## Usage
+
+- `-h` or `--help`: Display usage information.
+- `-v` or `--version`: Display version.
