public class BlockHeaderV4
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable, IEvioWriter, IBlockHeader

This holds an evio block header, also known as a physical record header. Unfortunately, in versions 1, 2 & 3, evio files impose an anachronistic block structure. The complication that arises is that logical records (events) will sometimes cross physical record boundaries. This block structure is changed in version 4 so that blocks only contain integral numbers of events. The information stored in this block header has also changed.

      Block Length       = number of ints in block (including this one).
      Block Number       = id number (starting at 1)
      Header Length      = number of ints in this header (8)
      Event Count        = number of events in this block (always an integral #).
                           NOTE: this value should not be used to parse the following
                           events since the first block may have a dictionary whose
                           presence is not included in this count.
      Reserved 1         = If bits 11-14 in bit info are RocRaw (1), then (in the first block)
                           this contains the CODA id of the source
      Bit info & Version = Lowest 8 bits are the version number (4).
                           Upper 24 bits contain bit info.
                           If a dictionary is included as the first event, bit #9 is set (=1)
                           If a last block, bit #10 is set (=1)
      Reserved 2         = unused
      Magic Int          = magic number (0xc0da0100) used to check endianness



 Bit info has the following bits defined (bit #s start with 1):
   Bit  9     = true if dictionary is included (relevant for first block only)

   Bit  10    = true if this block is the last block in file or network transmission

   Bits 11-14 = type of events following (ROC Raw = 0, Physics = 1, PartialPhysics = 2,
                DisentangledPhysics = 3, User = 4, Control = 5, Other = 15).

   Bit 15     = true if next (non-dictionary) event in this block is a "first event" to
                be placed at the beginning of each written file and its splits.

                Bits 11-15 are useful ONLY for the CODA online use of evio.
                That's because only a single CODA event type is placed into
                a single (ET, cMsg) buffer, and each user or control event has its own
                buffer as well. That buffer then is parsed by an EvioReader or
                EvioCompactReader object. Thus all events will be of a single CODA type.

    Parses the argument into the bit info fields. This ignores the version in the lowest 8 bits.
    
    Parameters:
    
    word - integer to parse into bit info fields
  - getReserved1
```
public int getReserved1()
```
    Get the first reserved word.
    
    Returns:
    
    the first reserved word.
  - setReserved1
```
public void setReserved1(int reserved1)
```
    Sets the value of first reserved word.
    
    Parameters:
    
    reserved1 - the value for first reserved word.
  - getReserved2
```
public int getReserved2()
```
    Get the second reserved word.
    
    Returns:
    
    the second reserved word.
  - setReserved2
```
public void setReserved2(int reserved2)

    Sets the value of second reserved word.
    
    Parameters:
    
    reserved2 - the value for second reserved word.
  - getMagicNumber
```
public int getMagicNumber()
```
    Get the magic number the block (physical record) header which should be 0xc0da0100.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getMagicNumber in interface IBlockHeader
    
    Returns:
    
    the magic number in the block (physical record).
  - setMagicNumber
```
public void setMagicNumber(int magicNumber)
                    throws EvioException
```
    Sets the value of magicNumber. This should match the constant MAGIC_NUMBER. If it doesn't, some obvious possibilities:
    1) The evio data (perhaps from a file) is screwed up.
    2) The reading algorithm is screwed up.
    3) The endianess is not being handled properly.
    
    Parameters:
    
    magicNumber - the new value for magic number.
    
    Throws:
    
    EvioException - if magic number != MAGIC_NUMBER.

```
public java.nio.ByteOrder getByteOrder()
```
    Get the byte order of the data being read.
    
    Specified by:

    Returns:
    
    the byte order of the data being read.
  - setByteOrder
```
public void setByteOrder(java.nio.ByteOrder byteOrder)
```
    Sets the byte order of data being read.
    
    Parameters:
    
    byteOrder - the new value for data's byte order.
  - toString

public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Obtain a string representation of the block (physical record) header.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toString in interface IBlockHeader
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object

public long getBufferEndingPosition()
```
    Get the position in the buffer (in bytes) of this block's last data word.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getBufferEndingPosition in interface IBlockHeader
    
    Returns:
    
    the position in the buffer (in bytes) of this block's last data word.
  - getBufferStartingPosition
```
public long getBufferStartingPosition()
```
    Get the starting position in the buffer (in bytes) from which this header was read--if that happened.
    This is not part of the block header proper. It is a position in a memory buffer of the start of the block (physical record). It is kept for convenience. It is up to the reader to set it.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getBufferStartingPosition in interface IBlockHeader
    
    Returns:
    
    the starting position in the buffer (in bytes) from which this header was read--if that happened.
  - setBufferStartingPosition
```
public void setBufferStartingPosition(long bufferStartingPosition)
```
    Set the starting position in the buffer (in bytes) from which this header was read--if that happened.
    This is not part of the block header proper. It is a position in a memory buffer of the start of the block (physical record). It is kept for convenience. It is up to the reader to set it.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setBufferStartingPosition in interface IBlockHeader
    
    Parameters:
    
    bufferStartingPosition - the starting position in the buffer from which this header was read--if that happened.
  - nextBufferStartingPosition
```
public long nextBufferStartingPosition()
```
    Determines where the start of the next block (physical record) header in some buffer is located (in bytes). This assumes the start position has been maintained by the object performing the buffer read.
    
    Specified by:
    
    nextBufferStartingPosition in interface IBlockHeader
    
    Returns:
    
    the start of the next block (physical record) header in some buffer is located (in bytes).
  - firstEventStartingPosition
```
public long firstEventStartingPosition()
```
    Determines where the start of the first event (logical record) in this block (physical record) is located (in bytes). This assumes the start position has been maintained by the object performing the buffer read.
    
    Specified by:
    
    firstEventStartingPosition in interface IBlockHeader
    
    Returns:
    
    where the start of the first event (logical record) in this block (physical record) is located (in bytes). Returns 0 if start is 0, signaling that this entire physical record is part of a logical record that spans at least three physical records.
  - bytesRemaining
```
public int bytesRemaining(long position)
                   throws EvioException
```
    Gives the bytes remaining in this block (physical record) given a buffer position. The position is an absolute position in a byte buffer. This assumes that the absolute position in bufferStartingPosition is being maintained properly by the reader. No block is longer than 2.1GB - 31 bits of length. This is for practical reasons - so a block can be read into a single byte array.
    
    Specified by:
    
    bytesRemaining in interface IBlockHeader
    
    Parameters:
    
    position - the absolute current position is a byte buffer.
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of bytes remaining in this block (physical record.)
    
    Throws:
    
    EvioException - if position < buffer starting position or > buffer end position
  - write
```
public int write(java.nio.ByteBuffer byteBuffer)
```
    Write myself out a byte buffer. This write is relative--i.e., it uses the current position of the buffer.
    
    Specified by:
    
    write in interface IBlockHeader
    
    Specified by:
    
    write in interface IEvioWriter
    
    Parameters:
    
    byteBuffer - the byteBuffer to write to.
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of bytes written, which for a BlockHeader is 32.
