+# NAME
+
+xdg-desktop-portal-wlr - an xdg-desktop-portal backend for wlroots
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (or xdpw for short) allows applications to request
+screenshots and screencasts via xdg-desktop-portal in wlroots-based Wayland
+compositors.
+
+xdpw will try to load the configuration file from these locations:
+
+- $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
+- $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/config
+- /etc/xdg/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
+- /etc/xdg/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/config
+
+_$XDG_CONFIG_HOME_ defaults to _~/.config_.
+
+The configuration files use the INI file format. Example:
+
+```
+[screencast]
+output_name=HDMI-A-1
+max_fps=30
+```
+
+# SCREENCAST OPTIONS
+
+These options need to be placed under the **[screencast]** section.
+
+**output_name** = _name_
+	Select which output will be screencast.
+
+	By default, an arbitrary output is selected. The list of available outputs
+	can be obtained via **wayland-info**(1) (under the _zxdg_output_manager_v1_
+	section).
+
+**max_fps** = _limit_
+	Limit the number of frames per second to the provided rate.
+
+	This is useful to reduce CPU usage when capturing frames at the output's
+	refresh rate is unnecessary.
