+# 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.

+rtirq: rtirq (set priorities on kernel IRQ threads)
+rtirq:
+rtirq: The rtirq script is a bash script written by Rui Nuno Capela which
+rtirq: works in conjunction with the IRQ threading facility of the Linux
+rtirq: kernel. The script takes advantage of the fact that the kernel can
+rtirq: use threads for IRQs management, and as such these threads (like any
+rtirq: other thread running on your system) can be given maximum priority
+rtirq: in an effort to minimize the latency of audio peripherals.
