 This Swift package provides support for automatically printing crash backtraces of Swift programs.

+The library is designed to fill a gap in backtraces support for Swift on non-Darwin platforms. 
+When this gap is closed at the language runtime level, this library will become redundant and be deprecated.
+
 ## Usage

+When building web-services and daemons, direct usage of this library is discouraged. 
+Instead, use [swift-service-lifecycle](https://github.com/swift-server/swift-service-lifecycle) which helps manage the application lifecycle including setting up backtraces hooks when needed. 
+
 Add `https://github.com/swift-server/swift-backtrace.git` as a dependency in your `Package.swift`.
