+# Hyperscan
+
+Hyperscan is a high-performance multiple regex matching library. It follows the
+regular expression syntax of the commonly-used libpcre library, but is a
+standalone library with its own C API.
+
+Hyperscan uses hybrid automata techniques to allow simultaneous matching of
+large numbers (up to tens of thousands) of regular expressions and for the
+matching of regular expressions across streams of data.
+
+Hyperscan is typically used in a DPI library stack.
+
+# Documentation
+
+Information on building the Hyperscan library and using its API is available in
+the [Developer Reference Guide](http://01org.github.io/hyperscan/dev-reference/).
