@comment TROFF INPUT: .PP

@b{swbis} is the project name of an free
implementation of the Posix software administration command set.
It provides capabilities and features that are a compatible subset of,
or extension to ISO/IEC 15068-2:1999.
@comment TROFF INPUT: .PP

As implementation extensions,
@b{swbis} supports creation and verification
of signed archives.  Signature creation and verification use the
file system utility /usr/bin/gpg.

Other implementation features include network copy and install operations
performed by direct use of the ssh client program (e.g. /usr/bin/ssh) with
extension capability for multi-hop ssh connections (e.g. through a firewall).
