+
+The s6-portable-utils program is only available when the +--enable-multicall option has been given to the configure +program at build time. In this configuration, s6-portable-utils is +a multicall binary implementing the functionality of all +the programs in the s6-portable-utils package; and the other programs, instead +of being executables of their own, are symbolic links to the +s6-portable-utils binary. +
+ ++ s6-portable-utils subcommand subcommand_arguments... ++ +
+ s6-portable-utils will run the subcommand will its arguments. For +instance, s6-portable-utils s6-seq 1 10 will run the equivalent of the +program, so this command will list natural numbers +from 1 to 10. +
+ ++ Alternatively, if s6-portable-utils is called with the name of an existing +command, it will run the equivalent of that command. For instance, +if the /usr/bin/s6-seq file is a (hard or symbolic) link to +the s6-portable-utils binary, /usr/bin/s6-seq 1 10 will list +natural numbers from 1 to 10. +
