 Usage
 =====
 
-Compile and link your program with ``-fsanitize=memtag`` flag. This
-will only work when targeting AArch64 with MemTag extension. One
-possible way to achieve that is to add ``-target
-aarch64-linux -march=armv8+memtag`` to compilation flags.
+Compile and link your program with the ``-fsanitize=memtag`` flag. This
+will only work when targeting AArch64 Android with the memory tagging extension.
+One possible way to achieve that is to add ``--target=aarch64-linux-android -march=armv8+memtag``
+to your compilation flags.
+
+Note that doing this will override existing flags of the same type. Assuming that
+you are already targeting AArch64 Android, an alternative is to add
+``-Xclang -target-feature -Xclang +mte`` to your compilation flags. This
+adds the memory tagging feature, without changing anything else.
