+CoRE Resource Directory: Lookup Example
+=========================================
+
+This example application demonstrates the usage of RIOT's Resource Directory
+(RD) lookup module, called `cord_lc`. This module supports the lookup of
+resources and endpoints as defined in
+[draft-ietf-core-resource-directory-20](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-core-resource-directory-23).
+The lookup can be done in two modes: a) raw: result of the lookup is returned
+as is. b) pre-parsed: result of the lookup is parsed and only one link is
+returned for each call.
+
+Usage
+=====
+The examples includes a shell command that you can use to interact with a given
+RD, called `cord_lc`. Simply use that shell command without parameters for
+more information on its usage.
