+%description
+libpipeline is a C library for setting up and running pipelines of
+processes, without needing to involve shell command-line parsing which is
+often error-prone and insecure. This alleviates programmers of the need to
+laboriously construct pipelines using lower-level primitives such as fork(2)
+and execve(2).
