+# 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 ':'.

+bulk_extractor: bulk_extractor (forensic tool)
+bulk_extractor:
+bulk_extractor: bulk_extractor is a C++ program that scans a disk image, a file, or a
+bulk_extractor: directory of files and extracts useful information without parsing
+bulk_extractor: the file system or file system structures. The results are stored in
+bulk_extractor: feature files that can be easily inspected, parsed, or processed with
+bulk_extractor: automated tools. bulk_extractor also creates histograms of features
+bulk_extractor: that it finds, as features that are more common tend to be more
+bulk_extractor: important.
+bulk_extractor: bulk_extractor is distinguished from other forensic tools by its
+bulk_extractor: speed and thoroughness.
