+### Introduction
+
+`system_profiler` is a simple wrapper around OS X's `system_profiler (1)` tool. It provides a simple API for accessing system profile information as well as caching to improve performance (especially when dealing with application profile data).
+
+
+### System Requirements
+
+- OS X
+
+
+### Usage
+
+Simple example to find and list all versions of ArchiCAD 19:
+
+```
+ import system_profiler
+ results = system_profiler.find('Applications', '_name', 'ArchiCAD 19')
+ print([x['version'] for x in results])
+ ['19.0.0 R1 FIN (6006)']
+```
+
+Check `tests.py` for more usage examples.
