+This directory contains C++ example management tools and an example
+managed application based on the QPID Management Framework (QMF)
+Library.
+
+agent.cpp
+---------
+
+This is an example of a managed application.  Applications that can be
+managed by QMF are called "agents".  This example shows how an agent
+can create managed objects and service method calls.  When run, this
+agent will attempt to connect to a broker at address "localhost:5672".
+
+list_agents.cpp
+---------------
+
+This is an example of a management tool.  QMF management tools are
+called "consoles". This console monitors the broker for agent
+additions and removals.  When run, it will attempt to connect to a
+broker at address "localhost:5672".
+
+event_driven_list_agents.cpp
+----------------------------
+
+This console is similar to the list_agents.cpp example, except it uses
+an EventNotifier to wake up when new events arrive.  An EventNotifier
+may be used in a POSIX select/poll loop.
+
+print_events.cpp
+----------------
+
+A very basic console that monitors for all events published by agents.
+
+
+Running the examples
+--------------------
+
+In order to run any of the examples, you'll first need to run a broker
+daemon on your local machine (qpidd).  Once the broker is up and
+running, start any of the example consoles.  While the consoles are
+running, run the example agent.  The consoles will print out event
+information that is published by the example agent.
