+iucode_tool is a program to manipulate Intel i686 and X86-64
+processor microcode update collections, and to use the kernel
+facilities to update the microcode on Intel system processors.
+
+It can load microcode data files in text and binary format, sort,
+list, and filter the microcode updates contained in these files,
+write selected microcode updates to a new file in binary format, or
+upload them to the kernel.
+
+It can also package microcode into an initramfs that can be used as is
+or prepended onto an existing initramfs for use with the kernel early
+microcode loader.
