638 The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
639 device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
640 and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
641 watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
642 certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
643 hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
