+      As far as operations on scheduled block-devices are concerned, here's a

+
+      As soon as Miou tries to observe possible events (such as the reception of
+      a packet - see {!val:Net.read}), it also performs a (single) block-device
+      operation. If Miou still has time (such as waiting for the end of a
+      {!val:sleep}), it can perform several operations on the block-devices
+      until it runs out of time.
+
+      In short, operations on scheduled block-devices have the lowest priority.
+      A unikernel can't go faster than the operations on waiting block-devices,
+      so it's said to be I/O-bound on block-devices. *)

+(** {2 The first entry-point of an unikernels.}
+
+    A unikernel is an application that can require several devices. {!val:net}
+    devices ([tap] interfaces) and {!val:block} devices (files). These devices
+    can be acquired by name and transformed (via {!val:map}.
+
+    For example, a block device can be transformed into a file system, provided
+    that the latter implementation uses the read and write operations associated
+    with block devices (see {!module:Block}).
+
+    {[
+      let fs ~name =
+        let open Miou_solo5 in
+        map [ block name ] @@ fun blk () -> Fat32.of_solo5_block blk
+    ]}
+
+    Miou_solo5 acquires these devices, performs the transformations requested by
+    the user and returns the results:
+
+    {[
+      let () =
+        Miou_solo5.(run [ fs ~name:"disk.img" ]) @@ fun fat32 () ->

+        let line = Fat32.read_line file_txt in
+        print_endline line
+    ]}
+
+    Finally, it executes the code given by the user. The user can therefore
+    “build-up” complex systems (such as a TCP/IP stack from a net-device, or a
+    file system from a block-device using the {!val:map} function).
+
+    {2 Miou_solo5 and build-systems.}
+
+    Miou_solo5 can be compiled as a simple executable to run on the host system
+    or a unikernel with the Solo5 toolchain. As for the executable produced, the
+    latter produces a “manifest” (in JSON format) describing the devices
+    required by the unikernel. This manifest is {b required} to compile the
+    unikernel.
+
+    It is therefore possible to:
+    + produce the executable
+    + generate the [manifest.json] via the produced executable
+    + generate the unikernel using the same code that generated the
+      [manifest.json], but with the Solo5 toolchain. *)
