28The files in this directory build the "eft.so" plugin to the
29fault management daemon (fmd). This plugin is a diagnosis engine
30driven by one or more eversholt fault tree (.eft) files.
31
32eft.c implements the diagnosis engine entry points expected by
33the fmd. The diagnosis engine is considered platform-neutral
34code and is being used on other, non-Solaris platforms. The platform
35specific services it requires are either provided by the fmd interfaces,
36or by the routines in platform.c in this directory.
37
38Most of the files that go into building eft.so are shared with the
39eversholt compiler. Those files are pulled in by the Makefile
40in this directory. They live in:
41 usr/src/cmd/fma/eversholt/common
42
43When running under Solaris, eft.so uses the hardware topology library
44(libtopo) to collect configuration information.
