DESCRIPTION

    EDS is an ini based format specified by the CiA e.V. in order to
    describe CANopen devices. The Ethernet POWERLINK Standardization Group
    specifies an EDS-based XML format for EPL devices.

    This module Takes in an EDS file or a string with its content and
    returns a XDD string. A self-contained (fatpacked) epl2xdd script is
    available at the Github releases page
    <https://github.com/epl-viz/Convert-EDS-XDD/releases/latest>.

    (issues on Github) welcome.
