You probably don't want to deploy this, but it shows how to use the
toybox infrastructure and provides templates for new commands.
+
+The hello.c and skeleton.c commands provide templates: hello.c is clean and
+simple, skeleton.c demonstrates the option parsing infrastructure and having
+multiple commands per file. When writing a new command, copying hello.c or
+skeleton.c to the new name may provide a good starting point.
+
+The demo_* commands demonstrate infrastructure.
+
+Other commands in here are obsolete versions still in some recent Linux systems
+(and often still in posix), but not really useful on modern systems.
