 **Fuko\\Source** is a small PHP library that helps you to extracts chunks of
 source code identified by code references, e.g. filename + line.
 
-## Basic Use
+It is really simple to use. Imagine you want to extract a piece of code, and
+you know what source code line exactly you want to reference: for example
+`/var/www/html/index.php` at line 17. You must first create a new `\Fuko\Source\Code`
+object, and then call the `getLinesAt()` method:
 
-...
+```php
+include __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
+
+$source = new \Fuko\Source\Code('/var/www/html/index.php');
+print_r($source->getLinesAt(17));
+/*
+Array
+(
+    [14] => Illuminate\Support\ClassLoader::register();
+    [15] => Illuminate\Support\ClassLoader::addDirectories(array(CLASS_DIR,CONTROLLERS,CONTROLLERS.'Middleware/', MODELS, CONTROLLERS.'Admin/'));
+    [16] =>
+    [17] => $FileLoader = new FileLoader(new Filesystem,  RESOURCES.'lang');
+    [18] => $translator = new Translator($FileLoader, 'en');
+    [19] => $Container = new Container();
+    [20] => $validation = new Factory($translator, $Container);
+)
+*/
+
+```
+
+By default there are 7 lines of code (LOCs) returned, but you can specify a
+different number in the range of 1 to 20 (as defined in `\Fuko\Source\Code::LOC_MAX`):
+```php
+include __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
+
+$source = new \Fuko\Source\Code('/var/www/html/index.php');
+print_r($source->getLinesAt(17, 1));
+/*
+Array
+(
+    [17] => $FileLoader = new FileLoader(new Filesystem,  RESOURCES.'lang');
+)
+*/
+
+```
