   Perform basic syntax and deliverability checks on email addresses.
 description:
-  Perform basic syntax and deliverability checks on email addresses.
+  Validate an email address using three techniques:
+  .
+    * Ensuring that the length of local and domain parts is within the
+      RFC-specified limits.
+  .
+    * A syntax check using a regular expression, or the full RFC 5322
+      grammar (see the @--rfc5322@ option).
+  .
+    * Confirmation of the existence of an @MX@ record for the domain part of
+      the address. This is not required; in fact many domains accept mail
+      via an @A@ record for e.g. example.com which is used in lieu of an @MX@
+      record. This behavior can be controlled via the @--accept-a@ flag.
+  .
+  These checks are performed in parallel using the number of available
+  threads. To increase the number of threads, you can pass the
+  appropriate flag to the GHC runtime.
+  .
+  This will set the number of threads to 25:
+  .
+  @
+  $ email-validator -i addresses.csv +RTS -N25
+  @
