+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBselector\fP is a simple shell command which provides a dynamic
+string selection. A you type a list of substring separated by ';', the
+display is updated to show only the lines containing all the said
+substrings.
+
+The main usage of selector is as a super shell-history. With the
+correct option, it will inject the selected line into the virtual tty
+input buffer, hence allowing the user to edit the line and execute it
+as a standard command.
