+# 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.

+aggregate: aggregate (optimise a list of route prefixes)
+aggregate:
+aggregate: Takes a list of prefixes in conventional format on stdin, and
+aggregate: performs two optimisations to attempt to reduce the length of the
+aggregate: prefix list. The first optimisation is to remove any supplied
+aggregate: prefixes which are superfluous because they are already included in
+aggregate: another supplied prefix. For example, 203.97.2.0/24 would be removed
+aggregate: if 203.97.0.0/17 was also supplied. The second optimisation
+aggregate: identifies adjacent prefixes that can be combined under a single,
+aggregate: shorter-length prefix. For example, 203.97.2.0/24 and 203.97.3.0/24
+aggregate: can be combined into the single prefix 203.97.2.0/23.
