Summary : Userspace helper for kernel EDAC drivers

License : GPLv2+
Description :
: EDAC (Error Detection and Correction) is a set of Linux kernel modules that
: handle reporting of hardware-related errors. Currently these modules mainly
: handle detection of ECC memory errors for many x86 and x86-64 chipsets and PCI
: bus parity errors.
:
: The edac-utils project currently has three components: libedac, edac-util, and
: edac-ctl. The libedac library presents a standard API for reading EDAC error
: counts and other information from sysfs, and edac-util uses this API to
: generate standard reports from the commandline. The edac-ctl utility is a perl
: script which uses config files to load the appropriate EDAC driver for a given
: chipset and register motherboard DIMM labels if they are configured. An init
: script is also provided which uses edac-ctl to initialize EDAC at system
: startup.
:
: This is a metapackage that installs all three components.
