+# 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.

+perl-Proc-ProcessTable: perl-Proc-ProcessTable (Perl extension to access the process table)
+perl-Proc-ProcessTable:
+perl-Proc-ProcessTable: This module is a first crack at providing a consistent interface to
+perl-Proc-ProcessTable: Unix (and maybe other multitasking OS's) process table information.
+perl-Proc-ProcessTable:
+perl-Proc-ProcessTable: This is mainly for other Perl programs, but there is also a command
+perl-Proc-ProcessTable: line tool pswait which takes a list of process IDs or names and then
+perl-Proc-ProcessTable: waits for one or all of them to end. This is useful for scripts
+perl-Proc-ProcessTable: dealing with process pools or concurrent pipelines.
