17DESCRIPTION
18===========
19
20Runtime Verification (**RV**) is a lightweight (yet rigorous) method
21for formal verification with a practical approach for complex systems.
22Instead of relying on a fine-grained model of a system (e.g., a
23re-implementation a instruction level), RV works by analyzing the trace
24of the system's actual execution, comparing it against a formal
25specification of the system behavior.
26
27The **rv** tool provides the interface for a collection of runtime
28verification (rv) monitors.
