-The importer is a duplex stream in object mode that writes inputs of tuples 
-of path and readable streams of data. You can stream an array of files to the 
-importer, just call the 'end' function to signal that you are done inputting file/s.
-Listen to the 'data' for the returned informtion 'multihash, size and path' for
-each file added. Listen to the 'end' event from the stream to know when the 
-importer has finished importing files. Input file paths with directory structure
-will preserve the hierarchy in the dag node.
+The importer is a object Transform stream that accepts objects of the form
+
+```js
+{
+  path: 'a name',
+  content: (Buffer or Readable stream)
+}
+```
+
+The stream will output IPFS DAG Node stats for the nodes it as added to the DAG
+Service. When stats on a node are emitted they are guaranteed to have been
+written into the DAG Service's storage mechanism.
+
+The input's file paths and directory structure will be preserved in the DAG
+Nodes.
