-This is the recommended way to use this library.
+The code of ctlseqs is simple, and can be used out-of-the-box. Just copy [ctlseqs.h](src/ctlseqs.h) and [ctlseqs.c](src/ctlseqs.c) to your project and build it alongside with other code.

 ## Build and Install From Source
 
-Helper scripts are provided to build ctlseqs as a shared/static library. Requires GNU Autoconf, Automake, Libtool and Autoconf Archive.
+Alternatively, ctlseqs can be built into a shared/static library with GNU Autotools (Autoconf, Automake, Libtool and Autoconf Archive).
 
 ```shell
 autoreconf --install
-./configure --prefix=$HOME CFLAGS='-O0 -g'
+./configure
 make
 ```
 
-Optionally, you can run tests (requires DejaGnu), install the binary and man pages.
+Optionally, you can run tests (requires DejaGnu) and install the library.
 
 ```shell
-make check && make install
+make check
+make install
 ```
 
-Finally, link it to your project with the `-lctlseqs` flag (or something similar).
+Unix man pages are not automatically installed with `make install`, and should be installed manually with `make install-man`.

-## Install From a Package Manager
-
-We maintain unofficial repositories for a few package managers, so that the ctlseqs library can be installed from them.
-
-However, there is no guarantee that any of those repositories will be actively maintained in the future.

-ctlseqs - helper library for terminal control sequences
 
 ## About
 
-The ctlseqs library provides C API for manipulating terminal emulators with control sequences.
+The ctlseqs library provides C API for handling ECMA-35/ECMA-48 compatible escape sequences, which is commonly used for communication between terminal emulators and text-based programs.
