SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       thin_metadata_pack and thin_metadata_unpack are used to compress
       binary metadata.
              Useful for support.
       thin_metadata_unpack  expands  metadata that has previously been packed
       with
       thin_metadata_pack.
              It outputs a binary file that the rest of  the  thin  tools  can
              use.
       This tool cannot be run on live metadata.
