-A single-server inetd, similar to Dan Bernstein's tcpserver or
-courier-tcpd from Courier-IMAP. This is small, and supports limiting
-the number of concurrent connections and refusing further connections
-with a configurable message.
+onenetd is a single-port inetd. Invoke it as onenetd -h for options,
+or see the included manual page.
+
+onenetd was inspired by D. J. Bernstein's tcpserver program from
+the ucspi-tcp suite, and is broadly compatible with it. Compared
+to tcpserver, onenetd is missing support for access control, IDENT
+lookups and DNS resolution, but adds IPv6 support and the ability
+to refuse connections with a fixed response once the connection
+limit is reached.
