+**Lambda Exporter — AWS Lambda Functions Export Utility**  
+
+This script exports all AWS Lambda functions (code and configuration) from your account to a local directory, for backup, migration, or auditing.
+
+---
+
+**Requirements**  
+- Python 3.7+  
+- `boto3`  
+- AWS credentials configured (via CLI, environment variables, or IAM role)  
+
+Install:  
+```bash
+pip install boto3
+```
+
+---
+
+**Usage**  
+
+1. **Default (uses default AWS profile and region `us-east-1`)**  
+   ```python
+   exporter = LambdaExporter()
+   exporter.export_all_functions()
+   ```
+
+2. **Custom profile and region**  
+   ```python
+   exporter = LambdaExporter(profile_name='my-profile', region_name='eu-west-1')
+   exporter.export_all_functions(base_dir='backups')
+   ```
+
+3. **Run directly**  
+   Save as `lambda_exporter.py` and run:  
+   ```bash
+   python lambda_exporter.py
+   ```
+
+---
+
+**Output Structure**  
+```
+lambda_export/
+└── export_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS/
+    ├── FunctionName1/
+    │   ├── configuration.json
+    │   └── [extracted source files...]
+    ├── FunctionName2/
+    │   ├── configuration.json
+    │   └── function_code.bin   # if not a ZIP
+    └── export_summary.json
+```
+
+- ZIP-based functions are fully extracted.  
+- `configuration.json` contains runtime, memory, timeout, env vars, role, etc.  
+- `export_summary.json` logs total functions and success count.
+
+---
+
+**Required IAM Permissions**  
+```json
+{
+  "Version": "2012-10-17",
+  "Statement": [
+    {
+      "Effect": "Allow",
+      "Action": [
+        "lambda:ListFunctions",
+        "lambda:GetFunction",
+        "lambda:GetFunctionConfiguration"
+      ],
+      "Resource": "*"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+**Important Notes**  
+- The script is read-only — it does not modify any AWS resources.  
+- Environment variables (including secrets) are included in `configuration.json`. Handle exports securely and avoid committing them to version control.  
+- Pre-signed download URLs are used immediately, so expiration is not an issue for typical function sizes.
