+'''Condenses the error policy table down to only the fields used by
+   the BMC Code.
+
+This script pulls the following 4 fields out of the full JSON policy
+table and arranges them for easier searching:
+
+    Error:         The OpenBMC error.
+                   e.g. xyz.openbmc_project.Thermal.Error.PowerSupplyHot
+    CommonEventID: Used to index into the online documentation.
+                   e.g. FQPSPCA0065M
+    Modifier:      Used in combination with the error to locate a
+                   table entry.
+                   e.g. <an inventory callout>
+    Message:       A short message describing the error.
+                   e.g. "Power supply 0 is too hot"
+
+There may be multiple CommonEventID/Modifier/Message groups per Error,
+which is why both the error and modifier are needed to find an entry.
+
+Example condensed entry, prettified:
+    {
+      "dtls":[
+        {
+          "CEID":"FQPSPCA0065M",
+          "mod":"/xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system/ps0",
+          "msg":"Power supply 0 is too hot"
+        },
+        {
+          "CEID":"FQPSPCA0066M",
+          "mod":"/xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system/ps1",
+          "msg":"Power supply 1 is too hot"
+        }
+      ],
+      "err":"xyz.openbmc_project.Thermal.Error.PowerSupplyHot"
+    }
