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