===== Introduction =====
Catfish is a handy file searching tool for Linux and Unix.                      
The interface is intentionally lightweight and simple, using only GTK+3.        
You can configure it to your needs by using several command line options.       
                                                                                 
You are encouraged to run ''catfish --help'' to check out the various command line options.
