+# 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 ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+read-edid: read-edid (read EDID information from a video monitor)
+read-edid:
+read-edid: read-edid is a pair of tools (originally by John Fremlin) for
+read-edid: reading the EDID from a monitor. It should work with most monitors
+read-edid: made since 1996 (except for newer ones with 256-byte EDID's - WiP),
+read-edid: assuming the video card supports the standard read commands (most
+read-edid: do).read-edid is a set of two tools - get-edid, which gets the raw
+read-edid: edid information from the monitor, and parse-edid, which turns the
+read-edid: raw binary information into an XF86Config-compatible monitor section.
