 VM-CBSD-Poller
 
-The README is used to introduce the module and provide instructions on
-how to install the module, any machine dependencies it may have (for
-example C compilers and installed libraries) and any other information
-that should be provided before the module is installed.
+This polls the Bhyve VMs managed by CBSD and returns a hash with the found
+data. The command that is wrapped is 'cbsd bls'.
+
+This needs to be run as UID 0 in most installations, given the requirements
+of the cbsd command and how it is installed.
 
-A README file is required for CPAN modules since CPAN extracts the README
-file from a module distribution so that people browsing the archive
-can use it to get an idea of the module's uses. It is usually a good idea
-to provide version information here so that people can decide whether
-fixes for the module are worth downloading.
