+`fsverity_metadata_generator` generates fsverity metadata and signature to a
+container file
+
+This actually is a simple wrapper around the `fsverity` program. A file is
+signed by the program which produces the PKCS#7 signature file, merkle tree file
+, and the fsverity_descriptor file. Then the files are packed into a single
+output file so that the information about the signing stays together.
+
+Currently, the output of this script is used by `fd_server` which is the host-
+side backend of an authfs filesystem. `fd_server` uses this file in case when
+the underlying filesystem (ext4, etc.) on the device doesn't support the
+fsverity feature natively in which case the information is read directly from
+the filesystem using ioctl.
