-.SH NAME
-edid-decode - Decode EDID data in human-readable format
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B edid-decode [in] [out]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B edid-decode
-decodes EDID monitor description data in human-readable format. It takes
-zero, one, or two arguments. If invoked with no arguments it reads from
-standard input and writes to standard output. With one argument, the file
-named by the argument is read instead. With two arguments, normal output
-is suppressed, and the binary EDID blob is written to the file named by
-the second argument.
-.PP
-Input files may be raw binaries or ASCII text. ASCII input is scanned for
-hex dumps; heuristics are included to search for hexdumps in
-.B xrandr(1)
-property output and
-.B Xorg(1)
-log file formats, otherwise the data is treated as a raw hexdump. EDID blocks
-for connected monitors can be found in
-.B /sys/class/drm/*/edid
-on modern Linux systems with kernel modesetting support.
-.PP
-.SH NOTES
-Not all fields are decoded, or decoded completely. Some fields' decoding
-may appear to corrupt the output (for example, detailed string sections
-have their contents printed literally).
-.B edid-decode
-does attempt to validate its input against the relevant standards, but its
-opinions have not been double-checked with the relevant standards bodies,
-so they may be wrong. Do not rely on the output format, as it will likely
-change in future versions of the tool as additional fields and extensions are
-added.
