 ### Run
 
-Once compiled and installed (via `nix-build` or `cabal new-install`), you can use it as follows:
+The easiest way is to pipe the standard input to `dconf2nix` and expect the result in the standard output:
 
 ```shell
-dconf2nix -i data/dconf.settings -o output/dconf.nix
+dconf dump / | dconf2nix > dconf.nix
 ```
 
-It is also possible to pipe the standard input to `dconf2nix` and expect the result in the standard output:
+If you have an input file instead, you can run the following command:
 
 ```shell
-dconf dump / | dconf2nix > dconf.nix
+dconf2nix -i data/dconf.settings -o output/dconf.nix
 ```

 dconf2nix - Nixify dconf configuration files
 
 Usage: dconf2nix [-v|--version]
-                 [[-t|--timeout ARG] [--verbose] | (-i|--input ARG)
-                   (-o|--output ARG) [-t|--timeout ARG] [--verbose]]
+                 [[-r|--root ARG] [-t|--timeout ARG] [--verbose] |
+                   (-i|--input ARG) (-o|--output ARG) [-r|--root ARG]
+                   [-t|--timeout ARG] [--verbose]]
   Convert a dconf file into a Nix file, as expected by Home Manager.
 
 Available options:
   -h,--help                Show this help text
   -v,--version             Show the current version
+  -r,--root ARG            Custom root path. e.g.: system/locale/
   -t,--timeout ARG         Timeout in seconds for the conversion
                            process (default: 5)
   --verbose                Verbose mode (debug)
   -i,--input ARG           Path to the dconf file (input)
   -o,--output ARG          Path to the Nix output file (to be created)
+  -r,--root ARG            Custom root path. e.g.: system/locale/
   -t,--timeout ARG         Timeout in seconds for the conversion
                            process (default: 5)
   --verbose                Verbose mode (debug)
 ```
 
+#### Custom root
+
+By default, `dconf2nix` expects the root to be `/`. If you want to create a dump of a custom root, you can use the `--root` flag. For example:
+
+```shell
+dconf dump /system/locale/ | dconf2nix --root system/locale > dconf.nix
+```
+
+This will generate an output similar to the one below.
+
+```nix
+{
+  dconf.settings = {
+    "system/locale" = {
+      region = "en_US.UTF-8";
+    };
+
+  };
+}
+```
+
 ### Supported types
 
 For now, only types supported by Home Manager as specified [here](https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/blob/master/modules/lib/gvariant.nix) are supported. If there's enough interest, we might be able to work on supporting the [full specification](https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/gvariant-text.html).
