+
+About: Lens Usage
+  Sample usage of this lens in augtool
+
+  Apache configuration is represented by two main structures, nested sections
+  and directives. Sections are used as labels, while directives are kept as a
+  value. Sections and directives can have positional arguments inside values
+  of "arg" nodes. Arguments of sections must be the firsts child of the
+  section node.
+
+  This lens doesn't support automatic string quoting. Hence, the string must
+  be quoted when containing a space.
+
+  Create a new VirtualHost section with one directive:
+  > clear /files/etc/apache2/sites-available/foo/VirtualHost
+  > set /files/etc/apache2/sites-available/foo/VirtualHost/arg "172.16.0.1:80"
+  > set /files/etc/apache2/sites-available/foo/VirtualHost/directive "ServerAdmin"
+  > set /files/etc/apache2/sites-available/foo/VirtualHost/*[self::directive="ServerAdmin"]/arg "admin@example.com"
+
+About: Configuration files
+  This lens applies to files in /etc/httpd and /etc/apache2. See <filter>.
