-Some hints for using this package on Slackware:
-
-I added the following to my /etc/inittab:
-
-# S6
-sv:12345:respawn:/command/s6-svscanboot 
-
-Then did a 'telinit q' to start it.
-
-Note that the default s6-svscanboot provided disables polling
-(-t0). So after adding a new service to /service you should call:
-
-/command/s6-svscanctl -a /service
+Examples of things you can do by assembling together several programs
+provided by s6 - besides process supervision:
+
+- syslogd functionality, using much less resources than the traditional
+  syslogd.
+- Reliable service readiness notification, which is the basis for
+  service dependency management.
+- Controlled privileged gain as with sudo, without using any suid
+  programs.
+- The useful parts of socket activation without having to change
+  application code or link servers against any specific library, and
+  without having to switch to any specific init system.
+
+NOTE:
+Upstream recommends building skarnet.org softwares with static libraries
+as most of skarnet.org softwares are small enough that using shared
+libraries are generally not worth using. Therefore, by default, shared
+libraries are not built and binaries are linked against the static
+versions of the skarnet.org libraries.
+
+If you want to also build the shared libraries, pass BUILD_SHARED=yes
+environment variable to the SlackBuild script like below:
+
+    BUILD_SHARED=yes ./s6.SlackBuild
+
+Similarly, to avoid building the static libraries, you can pass
+BUILD_STATIC=no to the script. For example, to only build the shared
+libraries and not the static ones, you can do something like:
+
+    BUILD_SHARED=yes BUILD_STATIC=no ./s6.SlackBuild
+
+If you just want to build and use skarnet.org softwares, building only
+the static libraries should be sufficient.
+
+If you want the binaries to be linked against the shared versions of the
+skarnet.org libraries, pass LINK_SHARED=yes to the script.
