 ==========
 
 Heap dump reader &amp; visualizer for Go 1.4
+
+You call debug.WriteHeapDump(fd uintptr) to write a heap dump to the given
+file descriptor from within your Go program (that's runtime/debug).
+
+The code in this directory is for a hview utility which reads a dump file
+(and optionally a binary that generated it), computes interesting data
+about the heap, and and presents the data to a web browser.
+
+cd hview
+go build
+./hview heapdump [binary]
+
+then navigate a browser to localhost:8080 and poke around.
