README for mysqlsnapshot
                       ========================

Introduction

  mysqlsnapshot is a tool used to generate an initial snapshot and
  consistent bin-log for MySQL replication (on the master server)
  without taking the master off-line. The only catch is that the
  binary log must already be enabled.

  Alternatively, you can use mysqlsnapshot to get a consistent copy of
  your databases.

  Currently, this only works properly for MyISAM databases.

Installation

  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make install (there are no tests yet)

Usage

  Just run mysqlsnapshot after it is installed for command-line
  options.

TODO

  Improve the docs.

  Anything else that folks suggest.
