 # reloc-cpp
-CMake/C++ library to get the installation prefix of shared library.
+
+CMake/C++ library to get the installation prefix of a shared library in a relocatable way.
+
+In a nutshell, it permits to avoid the need to hardcode the location of `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` in a shared library if you need it to localize other resources installed with the package. This permits to easily move the installation prefix in a location different from `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` after the installation (i.e. making it a *relocatable* installation), as long as the library is compiled as shared.
+
+In the case that the library is compiled as static, `reloc-cpp` will fall back to hardcode `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`  in the library.
+
+## Installation
+
+### FetchContent
+
+~~~cmake
+include(FetchContent)
+FetchContent_Declare(
+  reloc-cpp
+  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/ami-iit/reloc-cpp.git
+  GIT_TAG        v0.1.0
+)
+
+FetchContent_MakeAvailable(reloc-cpp)
+~~~
+
+## Usage
+
+In your CMake build system you can use `reloc-cpp` as:
+
+```cmake
+add_library(yourLibrary)
+
+# ...
+
+reloc_cpp_generate(yourLibrary
+                   GENERATED_HEADER ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/yourLibrary_getInstallPrefix.h
+                   GENERATED_FUNCTION yourLibrary::getInstallPrefix)
+```
+
+then, you can use it in C++ as:
+
+~~~cpp
+#include <yourLibrary_getInstallationPrefix.h>
+
+// This return the value corresponding to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
+std::string installPrefix = yourLibrary::getInstallPrefix().value();
+~~~
