+# `shim.c`
+
+[`shim.c`](./shim.c) is a simple Windows program that, when started:
+1. Looks for a file with the exact same name as the running program, but with
+   the extension `shim` (e.g. `C:\bin\foo.exe` will read the file `C:\bin\foo.shim`).
+2. Reads and [parses](#shim-format) the files into a
+   [Scoop](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop) shim format.
+3. Executes the target executable with the given arguments.
+
+`shim.c` was originally made to replace [Scoop](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop)'s
+[`shim.cs`](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/blob/96de9c14bb483f9278e4b0a9e22b1923ee752901/supporting/shimexe/shim.cs)
+since it had several important flaws:
+1. [It was made in C#](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/tree/96de9c14bb483f9278e4b0a9e22b1923ee752901/supporting/shimexe),
+   and thus required an instantiation of a .NET command line app everytime it was started,
+   which can make a command run much slower than if it had been ran directly;
+2. [It](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/issues/2339) [did](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/issues/1896)
+   [not](https://github.com/felixse/FluentTerminal/issues/221) handle Ctrl+C and other
+   signals correctly, which could be quite infuriating (and essentially killing REPLs and long-running apps).
+
+[`shim.c`](./shim.c) is:
+- **Faster**, because it does not use the .NET Framework, and parses the `.shim` file in a simpler way.
+- **More efficient**, because by the time the target of the shim is started, all allocated memory will have been freed.
+- And more importantly, it **works better**:
+  - Signals originating from pressing `Ctrl+C` are ignored, and therefore handled directly by the spawned child.
+    Your processes and REPLs will no longer close when pressing `Ctrl+C`.
+  - Children are automatically killed when the shim process is killed. No more orphaned processes and weird behaviors.
+
+> **Note**: This project is not affiliated with [Scoop](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop).
+
+
+## Installation for Scoop
+
+- In a Visual Studio command prompt, run `cl /O1 shim.c`.
+- Replace any `.exe` in `scoop\shims` by `shim.exe`.
+
+An additional script, `repshims.bat`, is provided. It will replace all `.exe`s in the user's Scoop directory
+by `shim.exe`.
+
+
+## Example
+
+Given the following shim `gs.shim`:
+```
+path = C:\Program Files\Git\git.exe
+args = status -u
+```
+
+In this directory, where `gs.exe` is the compiled `shim.c`:
+```
+C:\Bin\
+   gs.exe
+   gs.shim
+```
+
+Then calling `gs -s` will run the program `C:\Program Files\Git\git.exe status -u -s`.
+
+
+## Shim format
+
+Shims follow the same format as Scoop's shims: line-separated `key = value` pairs.
+```
+path = C:\Program Files\Git\git.exe
+args = status -uno
+```
+
+`path` is a required value, but `args` can be omitted. Also, do note that lines **must** end with a line feed.
