+# = Tracer
#
-# --
+# Tracer outputs a source level execution trace of a Ruby program. It does
+# this by registering an event handler with <code>Kernel#set_trace_func</code>
+# for processing incoming events. It also provides methods for filtering
+# unwanted trace output (see Tracer.add_filter, Tracer.on, and Tracer.off).
#
+# == Example
#
+# Consider the following ruby script
#
+# class A
+# def square(a)
+# return a*a
+# end
+# end
+#
+# a = A.new
+# a.square(5)
+#
+# Running the above script using <code>ruby -r tracer example.rb</code> will
+# output the following trace to STDOUT (Note you can also explicitly
+# <code>require 'tracer'</code>)
+#
+# #0:<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:38:Kernel:<: -
+# #0:example.rb:3::-: class A
+# #0:example.rb:3::C: class A
+# #0:example.rb:4::-: def square(a)
+# #0:example.rb:7::E: end
+# #0:example.rb:9::-: a = A.new
+# #0:example.rb:10::-: a.square(5)
+# #0:example.rb:4:A:>: def square(a)
+# #0:example.rb:5:A:-: return a*a
+# #0:example.rb:6:A:<: end
