+The folder contains a number of scripts which provide a convenient way to
+generate advanced graphs from the SIGUSR2 output of tinc.
+
+it currently contains the following files:
+
+sanitize.sh:
+    wrapper arond parse.py which filters the syslog file for all tinc
+    related lines and removes the status informations: 
+    this means that
+    <code>
+    May 19 20:40:44 servarch dnsmasq[5382]: reading /etc/resolv.conf
+    May 19 20:41:38 servarch tinc.retiolum[4780]: Error looking up pa-sharepoint.informatik.ba-stuttgart.de port 655: Name or service not known
+    </code>
+    becomes
+    <code>
+    Error looking up pa-sharepoint.informatik.ba-stuttgart.de port 655: Name or service not known
+    </code>
+    and so on.
+    It also provides a wrapper around graphviz which automagically
+    generates graphs from the produced graph file
+
+parse.py:
+    reads from stdin the sanitized syslog file and prints a valid dot file
+    from the given output.
+    The parser module may also produce any other output (e.g. for dns
+    entries and so on) you will need to actually read and modify the source
+    in order to be able to do this. ~May the source be with you~
