+# 01-Oct-2025, KAB:  This code is intended to provide a utility class that takes care
+# of checking whether the current computer has sufficient resources (memory, CPU,
+# disk space) for running a given integrationtest.
+#
+# The intention is that users would create an instance of the ResourceValidator in their
+# integtest code, set whichever minimum sizes they want to enforce, and call the
+# appropriate methods in the ResourceValidator instance to see where sufficient resources
+# are available.  Only the resources that have been explicitly set in the
+# ResourceValidator instance are considered when determining if sufficient resources are
+# available.
+#
+# The current implementation is not bullet-proof.  A given resource limit value should only
+# be set once.
+#
+# Here is pseudo-code for using this utility:
+#
+# import integrationtest.resource_validation as resource_validation
+# resval = resource_validation.ResourceValidator()
+# resval.require_cpu_count(64)
+# resval.require_free_memory_gb(28)
+# # set other minimum values, if desired
+# resval_debug_string = resval.get_debug_string()
+# print(f"{resval_debug_string}")
+# # then, in one of the pytest "tests"
+# if not resval.this_computer_has_sufficient_resources:
+#     resval_full_report = resval.get_insufficient_resources_report()
+#     print(f"{resval_full_report}")
+#     resval_summary_report = resval.get_insufficient_resources_summary()
+#     pytest.skip(f"{resval_summary_report}")
