Detailed Description

This class is used to read an evio formatted file or buffer and extract specific evio containers (bank, seg, or tagseg) with actual data in them given a tag/num pair.

It is theoretically thread-safe if sync is true. It is designed to be fast and does NOT do a full deserialization on each event examined.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

evio::EvioCompactReader::EvioCompactReader	(	std::string const &	path,
		bool	sync = false
	)

Constructor for reading an event file.

Parameters

path	the full path to the file that contains events. For writing event files, use an EventWriter object.
sync	if true use mutex to make threadsafe.

See Also

EventWriter

Exceptions

IOException	if read failure
EvioException	if path arg is empty

Object for reading file.

evio::EvioCompactReader::EvioCompactReader	(	std::shared_ptr< ByteBuffer > &	bb,
		bool	sync = false
	)

Constructor for reading a buffer with option of removing synchronization for much greater speed.

The proper buffer format, in evio version 6, is NOT the file format which contains a file header, but only the regular records. The proper format in earlier versions is the same for files as it is for buffers - with regular blocks.

Parameters

bb	the buffer that contains events.
sync	if true use mutex to make threadsafe.

EventWriter

Exceptions

BufferUnderflowException	if not enough buffer data;
EvioException	if buffer arg is null; failure to parse first block header; unsupported evio version.
