+# 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 ':'.

+libiec61883: libiec61883 (implementation of IEC 61883, part 1)
+libiec61883:
+libiec61883: This library is an implementation of IEC 61883, part 1 (CIP,
+libiec61883: plug registers, and CMP), part 2 (DV-SD), part 4 (MPEG2-TS),
+libiec61883: and part 6 (AMDTP). Outside of IIDC, nearly all FireWire
+libiec61883: multimedia devices use IEC 61883 protocols.
+libiec61883: The libiec61883 library provides a higher level API for
+libiec61883: streaming DV, MPEG-2 and audio over Linux IEEE 1394. This
+libiec61883: includes both reception and transmission. It uses the new
+libiec61883: "rawiso" API of libraw1394, which transparently provides
+libiec61883: mmap-ed DMA for efficient data transfer.
