class AliHLTOUT

 destructor

 see header file for class documentation

 get number of data blocks

 select the first data block according to data type, specification and
 handler type

 select next data block according to selection criteria specified
 for SelectFirstDataBlock

 Select data block according to data type and specification, internal function
 invoked by SelectFirstDataBlock/SelectNextDataBlock

 fill data type and specification

 Get handler type of the selected data block.

 Get the index of the current data block.

 fill block data descriptor and select the current data buffer
 buffer has to be released using ReleaseDataBuffer

 select and return the current data buffer
 buffer has to be released using ReleaseDataBuffer

 release data buffer, previously returned by GetDataBuffer

 get module agent of the selected data block

 get HLTOUT handler of the selected data block

 default function, child must overload

 add new block descriptor

 check alignment of the current data block
 NOTE: this functionality has not been tested and development was hardly finished

 init handlers for all registered blocks

 insert handler into list, called from child implementations

 fill a list according to specified handler type

 remove empty handlers from list

 find handler according to descriptor

 invalidate all handlers in a list

 swap a 64 bit number

 swap a 32 bit number

 transparently create HLTOUT implementation for AliRawReader

 transparently create HLTOUT implementation for digit tree

 transparently create HLTOUT implementation for raw file

 delete the HLTOUT instance
 check if the library is still there in order to have the
 destructor available

 see header file for class documentation
 default implementation, we should never get here
 this function can only be called from the class itsself and
 is intended to be used with the New functions. If we get into
 the default implementation there is a class mismatch.

 mark the current data block for processing

 mark all data blocks served by specified handler for processing

 enable block selection, in this mode only the blocks marked for
 processing can be accessed

 disable block selection

 reset the 'selected' flag for all blocks

 mark the current data block as 'processed'

 mark all data blocks served by handler as processed

 add a sub-collection to the HLTOUT instance
 all blocks of the sub-collection are accessed transparently through the master instance

 release a sub-collection

 reset HLTOUT instance
 clears all blocks and handler descriptions

 default implementation, nothing to do

 check if the current block encodes a ROOT object and expand it

 release a ROOT object previously expanded from the currentr data block

 set event id

 print info

   * Get the global instance.
   * The global instance is set temporarily by the AliHLTOUTGlobalInstanceGuard
   * mainly for the sake of data input to an analysis chain. The
   * AliHLTOUTPublisherComponent objects can access the global instance.

 assignment operator prohibited 

     * Get the data buffer
     * @param [out] pBuffer buffer of the selected data block
     * @param [out] size    size of the selected data block

   * Get the current event id

   * Get handler description of the current data block.

   * Check byte order of selected block

   * Print output or suppress.

   * Switch output.

   * Generate the index of the HLTOUT data.
   * Must be implemented by the child classes.

   * Check byte order of data block

   * Check alignment of data block

   * Set status flag.
   * @param flag     flag to set
   * @return current status flags

   * Clear status flag.
   * @param flag     flag to clear
   * @return current status flags

   * Check status flag.
   * @param flag     flag to check
   * @return 1 if flag is set

   * Find handler description for a certain block index.
