1. The app is defined in the POSIX standard.
2. The app isn’t in POSIX, but is found in multiple *nix environments, likeMacOS, busybox, and at least one major non-busybox Linux distribution. (taris a good example of a non-POSIX utility that is near-ubiquitous.)

And all of the following:

1. Orthogonal: the appsolves a problem that cannot reasonably be solved by using the existing appsin combination.
