+Electric Fence is a debugger that uses virtual memory hardware to detect
+illegal memory accesses. It can detect two common programming bugs:
+software that overruns or underruns the boundaries of a malloc() memory
+allocation, and software that touches a memory allocation that has been
+released by free().
+
+Unlike other malloc() debuggers, Electric Fence will detect read accesses
+as well as writes, and it will stop and pinpoint the exact instruction
+that causes an error. It is not as thorough as Purify, however.
+
+In order to debug a program it needs to be linked with Electric Fence's
+library or dynamic linking needs to be used; README.Debian explains that
+in detail.
+
+In addition to the static library (libefence.a), this package also
+contains a shared library of electric fence (libefence.so). Thus, you
+don't need to recompile your programs any more, all you need to do is:
+
+LD_PRELOAD=libefence.so ./your-buggy-program
+
+and libefence's malloc will be used.
+
+If you're using c++, and you and want to statically link your c++
+programs, you shouldn't use g++ to link libefence.a, but rather:
+ gcc -o myprog myprog.o -lstdc++ -lg++ -lefence
+(if you use g++, the order is different, and efence's malloc doesn't
+get used)
+
+Be sure to read the `libefence` manpage which describes how to set
+various environment variables which alter lebefence's behavior

+# 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 ':'.
