+KdumpID
+=======
+
+This utility should provide a fast and reliable method to find out the most important information about an unknown kernel crash dump, such as the architecture and kernel release. Think of it as a kind of "file" utility for kernel dumps.
+
+Motivation
+----------
+
+Have you ever received an (unknown) kernel core dump without any comment what it is? Then be welcome, you're the target audience.
