+
+This crate provides Rust with access to the **[System Informer][sysinf]**'s (formerly known as **Process Hacker**) [native Windows headers][sysinf.phnt] (shortened to **phnt**) which provide type definitions, constants, macros as well as function prototypes to even undocumented functions and syscalls.
+
+A nightly copy of the phnt is fetched from [phnt-nightly][phnt.nightly].
+
+**crate version:** 0.0.1 aka work-in-progress.
