+//config:         The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
+//config:         device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
+//config:         and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
+//config:         watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
+//config:         certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
+//config:         hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
