 * \brief Macro for generating the trigger menu CDB entry for the HLT global trigger.
 *
 * This macro is used to generate a default CDB entry for the HLT global trigger.
 * The trigger menu is used by the HLT global trigger as a configuration object.
 * It is an experts macro so make sure you know what you are doing.
 *
 * You can run this macro with defaults using the following shell command:
 * \code
 *   > aliroot -b -q $ALICE_ROOT/HLT/trigger/CreateTriggerMenuCDBEntry.C
 * \endcode
