Creating a Metadata File

The MDL definitions need to be compiled into a single metadata file, which is used by the event endecoder (encoder/decoder).

To compile MDL files use the ecsmdt command:

ecsmdt -o meta_file source_mdl1 source_mdl2 ...

The above command would take the source mdl files (source_mdl1, source_mdl2) and produce a meta data file (meta_file). The file meta_file contains the event structure specified in MDL.
