+  <description>
+    <p>The <c>log_mf_h</c> is a <c>gen_event</c> handler module which
+      can be installed in any <c>gen_event</c> process. It logs onto disk all events
+      which are sent to an event manager. Each event is written as a
+      binary which makes the logging very fast. However, a tool such as the <c>Report Browser</c> (<c>rb</c>) must be used in order to read the files. The events are written to multiple files. When all files have been used, the first one is re-used and overwritten. The directory location, the number of files, and the size of each file are configurable. The directory will include one file called <c>index</c>, and
+      report files <c>1, 2, ....</c>.
+      </p>
