+execline is a very light non-interactive scripting language,
+which is similar to /bin/sh. Simple shell scripts can be
+easily rewritten in the execline language, improving performance
+and memory usage. execline was designed for use
+in embedded systems, but works on most Unix flavors.
+
+execline features conditional loops, getopt-style option handling,
+filename globbing, and more. Meanwhile, its syntax
+is far more logical and predictable than the shell's syntax,
+and has no security issues.
