   The semantics of these four tools are more or less set in stone,
   for compatibility with existing tools.  The terminology in this
   area is indeed confused but given the background I can't see what
   we can do more than making sure the documentation is complete.
   Simple memory rule:

I was afraid of that, oh well... Anyway, go go go Simon go!

   My goal with this is to make InetUtils provide these low-level
   tools, to reduce the number of projects that are needed to build a
   GNU system.  They are quite simple tools, but if InetUtils doesn't
   provide them, all distributions need to go find their own
   implementation...

Full agreement!
