+ramzswap: Compressed RAM based swap device
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Project home: http://compcache.googlecode.com/
+
+* Introduction
+
+It creates RAM based block devices which can be used (only) as swap disks.
+Pages swapped to these devices are compressed and stored in memory itself.
+See project home for use cases, performance numbers and a lot more.
+
+Individual ramzswap devices are configured and initialized using rzscontrol
+userspace utility as shown in examples below. See rzscontrol man page for more
+details.
+
+* Usage
+
+Following shows a typical sequence of steps for using ramzswap.
+
+1) Load Modules:
+	modprobe ramzswap num_devices=4
+	This creates 4 (uninitialized) devices: /dev/ramzswap{0,1,2,3}
+	(num_devices parameter is optional. Default: 1)
+
+2) Initialize:
+	Use rzscontrol utility to configure and initialize individual
+	ramzswap devices. Example:
+	rzscontrol /dev/ramzswap2 --init # uses default value of disksize_kb
+
+	*See rzscontrol man page for more details and examples*
+
+3) Activate:
+	swapon /dev/ramzswap2 # or any other initialized ramzswap device
+
+4) Stats:
+	rzscontrol /dev/ramzswap2 --stats
+
+5) Deactivate:
+	swapoff /dev/ramzswap2
+
+6) Reset:
+	rzscontrol /dev/ramzswap2 --reset
+	(This frees all the memory allocated for this device).
