-circbuf
-=======
-
-This repository provides the `circbuf` package. This provides a `Buffer` object
-which is a circular (or ring) buffer. It has a fixed size, but can be written
-to infinitely. Only the last `size` bytes are ever retained. The buffer implements
-the `io.Writer` interface.
-
-Documentation
-=============
-
-Full documentation can be found on [Godoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/armon/circbuf)
-
-Usage
-=====
-
-The `circbuf` package is very easy to use:
-
-```go
-buf, _ := NewBuffer(6)
-buf.Write([]byte("hello world"))
-
-if string(buf.Bytes()) != " world" {
-    panic("should only have last 6 bytes!")
-}
-
-```
