+ipsvd is a set of internet protocol service daemons for Unix. It currently
+includes a TCP/IP service daemon, an SSLv3 TCP/IP service daemon (Linux and
+MacOSX), and an UDP/IP service daemon.
+
+An internet protocol service (ipsv) daemon waits for incoming connections on a
+local socket; for new connections, it conditionally runs an arbitrary program
+with standard input reading from the socket, and standard output writing to the
+socket (if connected), to handle the connection. Standard error is used for
+logging.
+
+ipsv daemons can be told to read and follow pre-defined instructions on how to
+handle incoming connections; based on the client's IP address or hostname, they
+can run different programs, set a different environment, deny a connection, or
+set a per host concurrency limit.
+
+Normally the ipsv daemons are run by a supervisor process, such as runsv from
+the runit package, or supervise from the daemontools package.
+
+ipsvd can be used to run services normally run by inetd, xinetd, or tcpserver.
