+###Generate application local elog-errors.hpp file
+Applications should be independently compilable so it cannot have a
+dependency on the elog-errors.hpp generated by phosphor-logging
+
+Generate application specific elog-errors.hpp using the elog-gen.py
+parser. In future the same will be generated through autotools.
+
+The application specific elog-errors.hpp is for the build purpose and the
+elog-errors.hpp from phosphor-logging will be used during elog commit/report
+
+#### Example
+python tools/elog-gen.py -y /home/OpenBmc/openpower-occ-control/ -u ./tools/ -t
+tools/phosphor-logging/templates/ -m elog-gen-template.mako.hpp -o
+elog-errors.hpp
+
