+    longDescription =
+      '' GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel.  A job
+         is typically a single command or a small script that has to be run
+         for each of the lines in the input.  The typical input is a list of
+         files, a list of hosts, a list of users, or a list of tables.
+
+         If you use xargs today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use.
+         If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able
+         to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running
+         jobs in parallel.  If you use ppss or pexec you will find GNU
+         Parallel will often make the command easier to read.
+
+         GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output
+         as you would get had you run the commands sequentially.  This makes
+         it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other
+         programs.
