+mcelog processes machine checks (in particular memory and CPU
+hardware errors) on modern x86-based unix systems and
+produces human-readable output.
+
+This software is heavily patched to work on FreeBSD systems,
+and thus provides an extremely limited subset of features as
+of this writing. The primary purpose is to provide a way to
+decode MCE output from the FreeBSD kernel into something more
+human-readable using the command 'mcelog --no-dmi --ascii'
+
+FreeBSD conversion patches were originally written by John
+Baldwin <jhb@freebsd.org> and later incorporated into this
+port.
