-### SeaFlags is a simple library for parsing command line arguments.
+SeaFlags is a straightforward C library designed for parsing command-line arguments. It offers a simple and efficient way for developers to manage flags and options in their C applications, making command-line interfaces easier to build and maintain.
+
+## Features
+
+*   **Simplified API:** Easy-to-use functions for defining and parsing flags.
+*   **Flexible Flag Support:** Handles both short (`-s`) and long (`--long`) argument formats.
+<!-- *   **Automatic Help:** Generates `--help` messages. -->
+*   **Error Reporting:** Provides clear feedback on parsing issues.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Here's a basic example demonstrating how to parse a string argument:
+
+```c
+#include <seaflags.h>
+#include <stdio.h> // Required for printf
+
+int main(int argc, char** argv) {
+    struct SeaFlagSet flags;
+    // Initialize with program info: name, version, author, description
+    seaflags_init(&flags, "Sea Flag Example", "0.0.0", "Tilo" , "Example for the seaflags library");
+
+    char* name = NULL; // Variable to store the parsed --name argument
+
+    // Add a flag: long_name, short_name, is_required, pointer_to_store_value
+    seaflags_add_flag(&flags, "--name", "-n", true, &name);
+
+    // Parse the command line arguments
+    int result = seaflags_parse(&flags, argc, argv);
+
+    if (result != 0) {
+        fprintf(stderr, "Error parsing flags.\n"); // SeaFlags typically prints error details too
+        return 1;
+    }
+
+    // Access the parsed argument
+    printf("Hello, %s!\n", name);
 
 
+    seaflags_free(&flags); // Free the memory allocated by SeaFlags
+
+    return 0;
+}
+```
