+## Usage
+
+### Basic benchmark
+
+To run a benchmark, you can simply call `hyperfine <command>...` where the argument(s) can be any shell command. For example:
+``` bash
+> hyperfine 'sleep 0.3'
+```
+
+Hyperfine will automatically determine the number of runs to perform for each command. By default, it will perform *at least* 10 benchmarking runs. To change this, you can use the `-m`/`--min-runs` option:
+``` bash
+> hyperfine --min-runs 5 'sleep 0.2' 'sleep 3.2'
+```
+
+### I/O-heavy programs
+
+If the program execution time is limited by disk I/O, the benchmarking results can be heavily influence by disk caches and whether they are cold or warm.
+
+If you want to run the benchmark on a warm cache, you can use the `-w`/`--warmup` option to perform a certain amount of program executions before the actual benchmark:
+``` bash
+> hyperfine --warmup 3 'grep -R TODO *'
+```
+
+Conversely, if you want to run the benchmark for a cold cache, you can use the `-S`/`--setup` option to run a special command before *each* benchmarking run. For example, to clear disk caches on Linux, you can run
+``` bash
+sync; echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
+```
+To use this with Hyperfine, call `sudo echo` to temporarily gain sudo permissions and then call:
+``` bash
+hyperfine -S 'sync; echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' 'grep -R TODO *'
+```
+
 ## Installation
 
 Hyperfine can be installed via [cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/):
