+# ViGEm user-mode client library
+This static library provides the gateway to the bus drivers functionalities. It offers:
+ * Searching and connecting to a library-compatible bus device on the system
+ * Attaching and removing a (artificially limited) number of virtual devices
+ * Feeding the emulated devices (aka providing input state changes) 
+
+## Dependencies
+In addition to this library you'll need to link against `setupapi.lib`.
