/// @file TS_cosKernel.C
/// @brief Sample metaball kernel function
///
/// This file demonstrates how to add a custom metaball kernel function that
/// will show up in all the Kernel Function parameter menus.
///
/// Once this file is compiled, register this dso into a @c MetaKernels text
/// file that is found in your HOUDINI_PATH environment variable. For example:
/// - <tt>$HOME/Library/Preferences/houdini/X.Y/MetaKernels</tt> <b>(OSX)</b>
/// - <tt>$HOME/houdiniX.Y/MetaKernels</tt> <b>(other platforms)</b>
///
/// The @c MetaKernels file should contain a list of .so/.dll paths that are
/// located relative to the search paths in the HOUDINI_DSO_PATH environment
/// variable. For example:
/// @code
///     # MetaKernels : Kernel extension table
///     TS_MyKernel.so
/// @endcode
/// In this case, you should install the TS_MyKernel.so file into the @c dso
/// subdirectory under where @c MetaKernels is found.
