+:mod:`gerber` --- RS-274X file handling
+==============================================
+
+.. module:: gerber
+ :synopsis: Functions and classes for handling RS-274X files
+.. sectionauthor:: Hamilton Kibbe <ham@hamiltonkib.be>
+
+
+The RS-274X (Gerber) format is the most common format for exporting PCB
+artwork. The Specification is published by Ucamco and is available
+`here <http://www.ucamco.com/files/downloads/file/81/the_gerber_file_format_specification.pdf>`_.
+The :mod:`gerber` submodule implements calsses to read and write
+RS-274X files without having to know the precise details of the format.
+
+The :mod:`gerber` submodule's :func:`read` function serves as a
+simple interface for parsing gerber files. The :class:`GerberFile` class
+stores all the information contained in a gerber file allowing the file to be
+analyzed, modified, and updated. The :class:`GerberParser` class is used in
+the background for parsing RS-274X files.
