+/**
+ * @brief Convenience function for writing meta data to a SquashFS image
+ *
+ * @note This function internally prints error message to stderr on failure
+ *
+ * This function internally creates a meta data writer and writes 'count'
+ * blocks of data from 'data' to it, each 'entsize' bytes in size. For each
+ * meta data block, it remembers the 64 bit start address, writes out all
+ * addresses to the and returns the location where the address list starts.
+ * For instance, the fragment table and ID table are stored in this format.
+ *
+ * @param outfd      The file descriptor to write to
+ * @param super      A pointer to the SquashFS super block
+ * @param data       A pointer to the data to write out
+ * @param entsize    The size of each data record
+ * @param count      The number of data records to write out
+ * @param startblock Returns the location of the lookup table
+ * @param cmp        A pointer to the compressor to use for the meta data writer
+ *
+ * @return Zero on success, -1 on failure
