1# Historically, the package was named bmap-tools, and that's the name
2# under which it was introduced in Buildroot. Since then, it has moved
3# to a new home, and got renamed to bmaptool. To avoid useless churn,
4# we keep the old symbols, and just refer to bmaptool in the prompt.

12	  Tool to flash image files to block devices using the block map
13	  bmaptool is a generic tool for creating the block map (bmap)
14	  for a file, and copying files using the block map. The idea is
15	  that large file containing unused blocks, like raw system
16	  image files, can be copied or flashed a lot faster with
17	  bmaptool than with traditional tools like "dd" or "cp".
