+# Phosphor Fan Presence (PFP) example configuration file.
+#
+# The configuration represents an array of fans the application
+# should check for presence.  The name attribute is required
+# and is used as the PrettyName attribute for the
+# xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Item interface.  Path is required
+# and is the location where the fan inventory object will be
+# created.  Additional configuration directives described below
+# in the examples.

+    be found in the /xyz/openbmc_project/sensors/fan_tach
+    namespace as required by the OpenBMC DBus API.
