30The files in this directory build the "eft.so" plugin to the
31fault management daemon (fmd).  This plugin is a diagnosis engine
32driven by one or more eversholt fault tree (.eft) files.
33
34eft.c implements the diagnosis engine entry points expected by
35the fmd.  The diagnosis engine is considered platform-neutral
36code and is being used on other, non-Solaris platforms.  The platform
37specific services it requires are either provided by the fmd interfaces,
38or by the routines in platform.c in this directory.
39
40Most of the files that go into building eft.so are shared with the
41eversholt compiler.  Those files are pulled in by the Makefile
42in this directory.  They live in:
43	usr/src/cmd/fma/eversholt/common
44
45When running under Solaris, eft.so uses the hardware topology library
46(libtopo) to collect configuration information.
