+ * This program verifies the integrity of the partitions after an A/B OTA
+ * update. It gets invoked by init, and will only perform the verification if
+ * it's the first boot post an A/B OTA update.
+ *
+ * It relies on dm-verity to capture any corruption on the partitions being
+ * verified. dm-verity must be in enforcing mode, so that it will reboot the
+ * device on dm-verity failures. When that happens, the bootloader should
+ * mark the slot as unbootable and stops trying. We should never see a device
+ * started in dm-verity logging mode but with isSlotBootable equals to 0.
+ *
+ * The current slot will be marked as having booted successfully if the
+ * verifier reaches the end after the verification.
+ *
+ * TODO: The actual verification part will be added later after we have the
+ * A/B OTA package format in place.
