.SH "DESCRIPTION"
Pi-hole : The Faster-Than-Light (FTL) Engine is a lightweight, purpose-built daemon used to provide statistics needed for the Pi-hole Web Interface, and its API can be easily integrated into your own projects. Although it is an optional component of the Pi-hole ecosystem, it will be installed by default to provide statistics. As the name implies, FTL does its work \fIvery\fR \fIquickly\fR!
