+Debug tools
+-----------
+
+ This directory contains a few tiny programs that may be helpful when
+ debugging XZ Utils.
+
+ These tools are not meant to be installed. Often one needs to edit
+ the source code a little to make the programs do the wanted things.
+ If you don't know how these programs could help you, it is likely
+ that they really are useless to you.
+
+ These aren't intended to be used as example programs. They take some
+ shortcuts here and there, which correct programs should not do. Many
+ possible errors (especially I/O errors) are ignored. Don't report
+ bugs or send patches to fix this kind of bugs.
