+# remote-process
+
+`remote-process` is an executable used to communicate with an instance of the
+parameter-framework through a TCP socket. It is only possible if the
+parameter-framework's configuration allows it (`TuningAllowed="true"` in the
+ParameterFrameworkConfiguration.xml) and if the port is also defined in the
+configuration (by the `ServerPort` attribute):
+
+For instance, if your parameter-framework configuration starts with:
+
+ <ParameterFrameworkConfiguration SystemClassName="..." ServerPort="5000" TuningAllowed="true">
+
+then, it listens on port 5000.
+
+remote-process may also be used to communicate with test-platform
+(see test/test-platform/README.md) thanks to test-platform being a minimal
+parameter-framework client.
+
+## Syntax
+
+ remote-process <host> <port> <command>
+
+You can get all available commands with the `help` command.
+
+You may also run a batch of commands by passing them on remote-process'
+standard input:
+
+ remote-process <host> <port> < file
+
+You should not use this feature in an interactive mode, because the
+communication may timeout if you're typing your commands too slowly.
