+# Rust Tokens Coding Challenge
+
+This coding challenge presents a tokenization/parsing scenario in which some
+external system is accepting bytes in discrete packets representing a stream.
+
+You will solve the challenge by modifying the method `process` of the struct `Parser`, without changing its function signature or the signature of the constructor, `new`. You can, however, modify the struct `Parser` itself however you feel is necessary.
+
+## Packetization
+These packets aren't consistent in their size or contents, so the stream
+`"I am a stream of packets; synthesize me."` could just as easily be
+`"I am ", "a stream ", "of packets; ", "synthesize me."`,
+one packet per character (`"I", " ", "a", "m", ...`), or just one packet
+containing the entire input.
+
+## Input and Output
+
+Your task is to implement a struct, called `Parser`, whose `process` method
+adds a suffix after certain words. So, for instance, if given the token `"foo"` and the suffix `"bar"`, your `Parser` would take the following input:
+
+- `"Does this foo look like a fooing bar to you?"`
+
+and return this output:
+
+- `"Does this foobar look like a foobaring bar to you?"`
+
+This needs to work over the full range of possible packetizations,
+from one packet for the whole input to one packet per character.
+
+## Mechanics of I/O
+
+The `process` function takes a mutable reference to the `Parser` (so you can 
+add some state into the `Parser` if you want),
+a chunk of bytes to process,
+and a `&mut dyn Write` sink for the output.
+If you're not familiar with the `Write` trait, it's worth looking into.
+The gist, however, is that you can send a buffer (like a `&[u8]`) to the
+`Write`r with its `write_all` method.
+
+This is actually what the default implementation of `process` does, as provided by the challenge, which is of course not a correct solution - but it does pass half of the tests!
+
+## Non-functional Requirements
+
+There are no constraints on speed, memory usage, or binary size. Go wild.
+
+# This Repo
+
+This Git repo has just two commits, on the branches `challenge` (and `main`) and `solution`.
+
+Don't look at `solution` until you've solved the challenge!
