  Description     : Utilities to report kernel-detected PCI and ECC RAM errors

  This package contains the user-space utilities for use with the EDAC kernel
  subsystem.  EDAC (Error Detection and Correction) is a set of Linux kernel
  modules for handling hardware-related errors.  Currently its major focus is
  ECC memory error handling. However it also detects and reports PCI bus parity
  errors. 
  .
  PCI parity errors are supported on all architectures (and are a mandatory part
  of the PCI specification).
  .
  Main memory ECC drivers are memory controller specific.  At the time of
  writing, drivers exist for many x86-specific chipsets and CPUs, and some
  PowerPC, and MIPS systems.

  Initial packaging was done by Tim Small, and debian/ is available
  within upstream tarball
