 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 ragg2 is a frontend for r_egg, compile programs into tiny binaries for x86-32/64 and arm.
 .Pp
 This tool is experimental and it is a rewrite of the old rarc2 and rarc2-tool programs as a library and integrated with r_asm and r_bin.
 .Pp
 Programs generated by r_egg are relocatable and can be injected in a running process or on-disk binary file.
+.Pp
+ragg2-cc is another tool that comes with r2 and it is used to generate shellcodes from C code. The final code can be linked with rabin2 and it is relocatable, so it can be used to inject it on any remote process.
+.Pp
+ragg2-cc is conceptually based on shellforge4, but only linux/osx x86-32/64 platforms are supported.
 .Sh DIRECTIVES
 .Pp
 The rr2 (ragg2) configuration file accepts the following directives, described as key=value entries and comments defined as lines starting with '#'.
