# 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. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| kexec-tools: kexec-tools (load a Linux kernel from the running one) kexec-tools: kexec-tools: /sbin/kexec is a user space utility for loading another kernel and kexec-tools: asking the currently running kernel to do something with it. kexec-tools: A currently running kernel may be asked to start the loaded kernel on kexec-tools: reboot, or to start the loaded kernel after it panics. The panic case kexec-tools: is useful for having an intact kernel for writing crash dumps. kexec-tools: But other uses may be imagined. kexec-tools: kexec-tools: Homepage: kexec-tools: https://projects.horms.net/projects/kexec/kexec-tools/README.html
