It is actually similar to a .csp lut.
Here is a made up lut:

Version      3
Format       any
Type         3D+1D
From         0 10
To           0 1
Black        0
White        1
Length       2 11
LUT:
Pre {
 0.0
 0.1
 0.2
 0.3
 0.4
 0.5
 0.6
 0.7
         0.8
         0.9
         1.0
}
3D {
0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
0.212500 0.212500 0.212500
0.715400 0.715400 0.715400
0.927900 0.927900 0.927900
0.072100 0.072100 0.072100
0.284600 0.284600 0.284600
0.787500 0.787500 0.787500
1.000000 1.000000 1.000000
}
Basically it takes a linear input with values from 0 to 10, remaps it to 0 to 1 
with a curve made out of 11 steps, then applies a 2x2 cube (3d lut) that takes 
all the saturation out.
Don't have Mplay here, so can not test.

The HDK docs should explain the format of the prelut:

http://www.sidefx.com/docs/hdk11.0/hdk_io_lut.html

Additionally, OCIO's FileFormatHDL.cpp might be of use to clarify some 
things. It is quite heavily commented, and has some test cases at the 
end of the file which contain small example LUT's:
