Definition
README file
<convention> An introduction traditionally included in the
top-level directory of a Unix source distribution,
containing a pointer to more detailed documentation, credits,
miscellaneous revision history, notes, etc. The file may be
named README, or READ.ME, or rarely ReadMe or readme.txt or
some other variant.
In the Macintosh and IBM PC worlds, software is not
usually distributed in source form, and the README is more
likely to contain user-oriented material like last-minute
documentation changes, error workarounds, and restrictions.
The README convention probably follows the famous scene in
Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" in which
Alice confronts magic munchies labelled "Eat Me" and "Drink
Me".

README
In software development, a README file contains information about the other files in a directory or archive of computer software. A form of documentation, it is usually a simple plain text file called README, Read Me, READ.ME, README.TXT, README.md (to indicate the use of Markdown), or README.1ST.
The file's name is generally written in uppercase. On Unix-like systems in particular, this causes it to stand out – both because lowercase filenames are more common, and because the ls command commonly sorts and displays files in ASCII-code order, in which uppercase filenames will appear first.
