# 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 ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| microcode_ctl: microcode_ctl (microcode update utility) microcode_ctl: microcode_ctl: The microcode_ctl utility is a companion to the IA32 microcode driver microcode_ctl: written by Tigran Aivazian <tigran@aivazian.fsnet.co.uk>.
