+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+mcelog: mcelog (Machine Check Event logger)
+mcelog:
+mcelog: mcelog is the user space backend for logging machine check errors
+mcelog: reported by the hardware to the kernel. The kernel does the immediate
+mcelog: actions (like killing processes etc.) and mcelog decodes the logs the
+mcelog: errors. It primarily handles machine checks and thermal events, which
+mcelog: are reported for errors detected by the CPU. It is recommended that
+mcelog: mcelog runs on all x86 machines, both 64-bit and 32bit.
