Description-en: Port reservation program
The portreserve program aims to help services with well-known ports
that lie in the bindresvport() range (currently 600-1023).
It prevents programs requesting a port to the libc from occupying
a real service's port by occupying it itself, until the real service
tells it to release the port (generally in its init script).
