<p>The Unix toolkit was created in the <strong>1970s</strong> and is a mainstay to this day. Miller’s look and feel adheres closely to the <a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy">classic toolkit style</a>: if this were music, Miller would be a <strong>tribute album</strong>. Likewise, since commands are subcommands of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mlr</span></code> executable, the result is a <strong>band</strong>, if you will, of command-line tools. Put these together and the namesake is another classic product of the 1970s: the <a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve%5fMiller%5fBand">Steve Miller Band</a>.</p>

<p>(Additionally, and far more prosaically … just as a miller is someone who grinds and mixes grain into flour to extend its usefulness, Miller grinds and mixes data for you.)</p>
