+# 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 ':'.

+nethogs: NetHogs (a small 'net top' tool)
+nethogs:
+nethogs: NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool. Instead of breaking the traffic
+nethogs: down per protocol or per subnet, like most tools do, it groups
+nethogs: bandwidth by process. NetHogs does not rely on a special kernel
+nethogs: module to be loaded. If there's suddenly a lot of network traffic,
+nethogs: you can fire up NetHogs and immediately see which PID is causing
+nethogs: this. This makes it easy to indentify programs that have gone wild
+nethogs: and are suddenly taking up your bandwidth.
