<title>OSSP val</title>
-<h1>...</h1>
+<h1>Value Access</h1>
<h2>Abstract</h2>
+OSSP val is a flexible name to value mapping library for C variables. It is a
+companion library to <a href="../var/">OSSP var</a>. It allows one to access
+C variables through name strings, although the C language does neither provide
+such a dedicated facility nor an evaluation construct (which could be used to
+implement such a facility easily).
+
+In general, this is used for accessing C variables without having to know the
+actual symbol/address/reference. The typical use cases are in combination with
+flexible configuration parsing and supporting loosly-coupled DSO-based module
+architectures.
