+# Star Aerosol
-This C library loads the radiative properties of an aerosol saved wrt the
-Star-Aerosol file format.
+This C library loads the radiative properties of an aerosol saved in sars
+format. See `sars.5` for the format specification.
-## How to build
+## Requirements
-This library is compatible with 64-bits POSIX systems. It relies the
-[CMake](http://www.cmake.org) and the
-[RCMake](https://gitlab.com/vaplv/rcmake/) packages to build. It also depends
-on the [RSys](https://gitlab.com/vaplv/rsys/) library. It optionally depends on
-[scdoc](https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc/) which, if available, is used to
-generate the man page of the Star-Aerosol file format.
+- C compiler
+- POSIX make
+- pkg-config

-First ensure that CMake is installed on your system. Then install the RCMake
-package as well as the aforementioned prerequisites. Finally generate the
-project from the `cmake/CMakeLists.txt` file by appending to the
-`CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` variable the install directories of its dependencies. The
-resulting project can be edited, built, tested and installed as any CMake
-project. Refer to the [CMake documentation](https://cmake.org/documentation)
-for further informations on CMake.
