+by any Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Internet Gateway Device (IGD) present on
+the network. In UPnP terminology, MiniUPnPc is a UPnP Control Point. It is
+useful whenever an application needs to listen for incoming connections while
+running behind a UPnP-enabled router or firewall. Such applications include
+peer-to-peer applications, active-mode FTP clients, DCC file transfers over
+IRC, instant messaging, network games, and most server software.")
