## Usage
-TODO: Write usage instructions here
+Subject to change as this is a very early version of the pogram, but this is what it will probably be:
+
+Basic usage: `flint [LANGUAGE] [OPTIONS] [FILE]`
+
+With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read code from STDIN.
+
+General options:
+
+ `-i`, `--interpret`, interpet the provided source code, overridden by `-c` or `--compile`
+ `-c`, `--compile`, produce a binary or different source code file instead of interpeting the code, overrides an explicit `-i` or `--intepret` flag
+
+Language-specific options:
+
+Brainfuck:
+
+ `-t N`, `--tape-size=N`, specify the number of memoy cells in the tape, defaults to 30,000
