DESCRIPTION
The aws_topic_publisher utility is used to prepare data for publication by the aws_mqtt_client script. The aws_topic_publisher acts by taking data from stdin, wrapping it in a JSON document whose only field has the name of the given topic, and presenting the result on stdout.
Note that the aws_topic_publisher in scs_analysis necessarily works differently to the aws_topic_publisher in scs_dev. This is because scs_dev version has access to the device's project specification, and therefore can find the topic path automatically. For the scs_analysis version, the full topic path should be given explicitly.
