+//      prevents from copying or calling the same APIs at the multiple palces.
+//      The existing "main" at MET tools should be renamed to "met_main" and
+//      three APIs (get_tool_name, initialize, and process_command_line) must
+//      be added. Most MET tools have initialize and process_command_line.
