 .SH SYNOPSIS
 nyx [\fIOPTION\fR]
 
 .SH DESCRIPTION

-stuck with a tty terminal. This works much like top does for system usage,
-providing real time statistics for:
+Nyx is a command line interface for Tor (https://www.torproject.org/),
+providing detailed real-time relaying information for...
+
   * bandwidth, cpu, and memory usage
-  * relay's current configuration
-  * logged events
-  * connection details (ip, fingerprint, and consensus data)
+  * connection information
+  * tor configuration
+  * event logs
   * etc
 
-Defaults and interface properties are configurable via a user provided
-configuration file (for an example see the provided \fBnyxrc.sample\fR).
-Releases and information are available at \fIhttp://www.atagar.com/nyx\fR.
+As a curses interface Nyx is particularly well suited for ssh connections, tty 
+terminals, and command-line aficionados to check the status of tor.
+
+Nyx can be customized through a configuration file located at
+\fB~/.nyx/config\fR. For options see our \fBnyxrc.sample\fR.
