+SUMMARY="Apache Portable Runtime Library"
+DESCRIPTION="The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to \
+create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and \
+consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations.
+The primary goal is to provide an API to which software developers may code \
+and be assured of predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of the \
+platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code \
+special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific \
+deficiencies or features.
+
+To give a brief overview, the primary core subsystems of APR 1.x include the \
+following:
+- atomic operations
+- dynamic shared object loading
+- file I/O
+- locks (mutexes, condition variables, etc.)
+- memory management (high performance allocators)
+- memory-mapped files
+- multicast sockets
+- network I/O
+- shared memory
+- thread and process management
+- various data structures (tables, hashes, priority queues, etc.)"
