+# The LLVM libc unit test framework
+
+This directory contains a lightweight implementation of a
+[gtest](https://github.com/google/googletest) like unit test framework for LLVM
+libc.
+
+## Why not gtest?
+
+While gtest is great, featureful and time tested, it uses the C and C++
+standard libraries. Hence, using it to test LLVM libc (which is also an
+implementation of the C standard libraries) causes various kinds of
+mixup/conflict problems.
+
+## How is it different from gtest?
+
+LLVM libc's unit test framework is much less featureful as compared to gtest.
+But, what is available strives to be exactly like gtest.
+
+## Will it be made as featurful as gtest in future?
+
+It is not clear if LLVM libc needs/will need every feature of gtest. We only
+intend to extend it on an _as needed_ basis. Hence, it might never be as
+featureful as gtest.

+# The LLVM libc header generation system
+
+LLVM libc uses a header generation scheme to generate public as well as internal
+header files. This directory contains the implementation of the header generator
+which drives this header generation scheme.
