+The DISTRO2SBOM generates a SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) for either an
+installed application or a complete system installation in a number of
+formats including SPDX and CycloneDX.
+
+An SBOM for an installed package will identify all of its dependent components.
+
+It is intended to be used as part of a continuous integration system to enable
+accurate records of SBOMs to be maintained and also to support subsequent
+audit needs to determine if a particular component (and version)
+has been used.
