+
+## The purpose
+smartipc makes it easy to spawn tasks into subprocesses without loosing control over what those processes do.
+You can transparently call functions and expect returned data using promises.
+
+## Usage
+
+Server:
+```typescript
+import {Ipcserver} from 'smartipc'
+import * as q from 'q'
+
+let myIpcserver = new Ipcserver({
+    appspace: 'mymodule'
+})
+
+// The subprocess js file cannot have any cli arguments
+// since this mechanism is used by IpcServer to setup the connection
+myIpcServer.spawnProcess('./myFile','mySubProcessNameAlias') // nameAlias identifies the subprocess and will prefix any logs from child Process
+
+let someData = {
+    key1: 'value1',
+    key2: 'value2'
+}
+
+myIpcServer.call('mySubProcessNameAlias','myAwesomeFunction',someData).then(someAnswerData => {
+    console.log(someAnswerData.key1)
+})
+
+```
+
+Client:
+```
+import { Ipcclient } from './smartipc'
+import * as q from 'q'
+
+let localIpc = new Ipcclient() // gets its connection information automatically using CLI args internally
+
+let myAwesomeFunction = (dataArg) => {
+    let done = plugins.q.defer()
+    console.log('awesome') // this will log transparently in the same console stream as the host process
+    let someAnswerData = {key1: 'this is an answer'}
+    done.resolve(someAnswerData)
+    return done.promise
+}
+
+localIpc.register([myAwesomeFunction])
+```
