/**
 * {@hide}
 * Dynamically defined (in terms of event types), space efficient (i.e. "tight") event logging
 * to help instrument code for large scale stability and performance monitoring.
 *
 * Note that this class contains all static methods.  This is done for efficiency reasons.
 *
 * Events for the event log are self-describing binary data structures.  They start with a 20 byte
 * header (generated automatically) which contains all of the following in order:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li> Payload length: 2 bytes - length of the non-header portion </li>
 * <li> Padding: 2 bytes - no meaning at this time </li>
 * <li> Timestamp:
 *   <ul>
 *   <li> Seconds: 4 bytes - seconds since Epoch </li>
 *   <li> Nanoseconds: 4 bytes - plus extra nanoseconds </li>
 *   </ul></li>
 * <li> Process ID: 4 bytes - matching {@link android.os.Process#myPid} </li>
 * <li> Thread ID: 4 bytes - matching {@link android.os.Process#myTid} </li>
 * </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * The above is followed by a payload, comprised of the following:
 * <ul>
 * <li> Tag: 4 bytes - unique integer used to identify a particular event.  This number is also
 *                     used as a key to map to a string that can be displayed by log reading tools.
 * </li>
 * <li> Type: 1 byte - can be either {@link #INT}, {@link #LONG}, {@link #STRING},
 *                     or {@link #LIST}. </li>
 * <li> Event log value: the size and format of which is one of:
 *   <ul>
 *   <li> INT: 4 bytes </li>
 *   <li> LONG: 8 bytes </li>
 *   <li> STRING:
 *     <ul>
 *     <li> Size of STRING: 4 bytes </li>
 *     <li> The string:  n bytes as specified in the size fields above. </li>
 *     </ul></li>
 *   <li> {@link List LIST}:
 *     <ul>
 *     <li> Num items: 1 byte </li>
 *     <li> N value payloads, where N is the number of items specified above. </li>
 *     </ul></li>
 *   </ul>
 * </li>
 * <li> '\n': 1 byte - an automatically generated newline, used to help detect and recover from log
 *                     corruption and enable stansard unix tools like grep, tail and wc to operate
 *                     on event logs. </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * Note that all output is done in the endian-ness of the device (as determined
 * by {@link ByteOrder#nativeOrder()}).
