==== Flatbuffers Parsing
While a tool has been included to parse the file format used, it may be
desired to build analysis tools that deal with the files directly. This can
be accomplished in a few ways; either the records can be split and passed to
flatc along with the included schema, or the schema can be parsed using the
Flatbuffers reflection API and used to read the data within the records.
The format for the files is as follows:
===== File Layout		===== File Layout
[options="header"]		[options="header"]
|============================================================================		|============================================================================
|Section |Description		|Section |Description
