 The code is broken out into modules as follows:
 
-* `dbus` - Any read or write interface that uses dbus primarily.
-* `experiments` - Small execution paths that allow for fan examination
-including how quickly fans respond to changes.
-* `ipmi` - Manual control for any zone is handled by receiving an IPMI message.
-This holds the ipmid provider for receiving those messages and sending them
-onto swampd.
-* `notimpl` - These are read-only and write-only interface implementations that
-can be dropped into a pluggable sensor to make it complete.
-* `pid` - This contains all the PID associated code, including the zone
-definition, controller definition, and the PID computational code.
-* `scripts` - This contains the scripts that convert YAML into C++.
-* `sensors` - This contains a couple of sensor types including the pluggable
-sensor's definition.  It also holds the sensor manager.
-* `sysfs` - This contains code that reads from or writes to sysfs.
