re-apply part of rev. 1.4 - Explain why you would use this.
contrary to rev. 1.4, keep 'The options are as follows' sentence, since
this seems to be used more on system manpages

 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Nm
-utility enforces system call policies for applications by
-constraining the application's access to the system.
-The policy is generated interactively.
-Operations not covered by the policy raise an
-alarm and allow a user to refine the currently configured policy.
+utility monitors and controls an application's access to the system by
+enforcing access policies for system calls.  The
+.Nm
+utility might be used to trace an untrusted application's access to
+the system.  Alternatively, it might be used to protect the system
+from software bugs (such as buffer overflows) by constraining a
+daemon's access to the system.
+.Pp
+The access policy can be generated interactively or obtained from a
+policy file.  Operations not covered by the policy raise an alarm and
+allow an user to refine the currently configured policy.

 The options are as follows:
