Interface IMetaLogger

public interface IMetaLogger

Interface to handle meta-data errors during initialization. Logs errors due to missing a rom.def file, rom.def parser errors, meta-data build errors, etc. The class that is interested in the errors may implement this interface. Then, create an instance of that class and register it with MetaLogManager, using the static registerLogger method. When an error occurs during parsing of the meta-data file, the parser calls the log method of the custom logger.
