-This directory contains the release of GNU fileutils.
+The Free Software Foundation's "file" utilities, including "chgrp",
+"chmod", "chown", "cp", "dd", "df", "dir", "dircolors", "du",
+"install", "ln", "ls", "mkdir", "mkfifo", "mknod", "mv", "rm",
+"rmdir", "sync", "touch", "vdir".
+
+These utilities exist in the FreeBSD base collection, but the GNU
+versions have added functionality that is sometimes useful.
+
+Note that this port will install these utilities with a `g' prefix,
+for example gcp, gdu, gls, gmv, grm, but the texinfo documentation
+will refer to these utilities without the `g' prefix.
