-pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Docker project without being specific to its internals.
-
-Utility packages are kept separate from the docker core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible.
-If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the
-Docker organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.
-
-The directory `pkg` is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core
-Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!
-
-Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good
-place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!

-Package mflag (aka multiple-flag) implements command-line flag parsing.  
-It's a **hacky** fork of the [official golang package](http://golang.org/pkg/flag/)
-
-It adds:
-
-* both short and long flag version  
-`./example -s red` `./example --string blue`
-
-* multiple names for the same option  
-```
-$>./example -h
-Usage of example:
-  -s, --string="": a simple string
-```
-
-___
-It is very flexible on purpose, so you can do things like:  
-```
-$>./example -h
-Usage of example:
-  -s, -string, --string="": a simple string
-```
-
-Or:  
-```
-$>./example -h
-Usage of example:
-  -oldflag, --newflag="": a simple string
-```
-
-You can also hide some flags from the usage, so if we want only `--newflag`:  
-```
-$>./example -h
-Usage of example:
-  --newflag="": a simple string
-$>./example -oldflag str
-str
-```
-
-See [example.go](example/example.go) for more details.

-Plugin RPC Generator
-====================
-
-Generates go code from a Go interface definition for proxying between the plugin
-API and the subsystem being extended.
-
-## Usage
-
-Given an interface definition:
-
-```go
-type volumeDriver interface {
-	Create(name string, opts opts) (err error)
-	Remove(name string) (err error)
-	Path(name string) (mountpoint string, err error)
-	Mount(name string) (mountpoint string, err error)
-	Unmount(name string) (err error)
-}
-```
-
-**Note**: All function options and return values must be named in the definition.
-
-Run the generator:
-
-```bash
-$ pluginrpc-gen --type volumeDriver --name VolumeDriver -i volumes/drivers/extpoint.go -o volumes/drivers/proxy.go
-```
-
-Where:
-- `--type` is the name of the interface to use
-- `--name` is the subsystem that the plugin "Implements"
-- `-i` is the input file containing the interface definition
-- `-o` is the output file where the the generated code should go
-
-**Note**: The generated code will use the same package name as the one defined in the input file
-
-Optionally, you can skip functions on the interface that should not be
-implemented in the generated proxy code by passing in the function name to `--skip`.
-This flag can be specified multiple times.
-
-You can also add build tags that should be prepended to the generated code by
-supplying `--tag`. This flag can be specified multiple times.
-
-## Known issues
-
-## go-generate
-
-You can also use this with go-generate, which is pretty awesome.  
-To do so, place the code at the top of the file which contains the interface
-definition (i.e., the input file):
-
-```go
-//go:generate pluginrpc-gen -i $GOFILE -o proxy.go -type volumeDriver -name VolumeDriver
-```
-
-Then cd to the package dir and run `go generate`
-
-**Note**: the `pluginrpc-gen` binary must be within your `$PATH`

-## reexec
-
-The `reexec` package facilitates the busybox style reexec of the docker binary that we require because 
-of the forking limitations of using Go.  Handlers can be registered with a name and the argv 0 of 
-the exec of the binary will be used to find and execute custom init paths.
