class AliRawReader: public TObject

 Open the mapping file
 and load the mapping data

 destructor
 delete the mapping arrays if
 initialized

 RawReader's factory
 It instantiate corresponding raw-reader implementation class object
 depending on the URI provided
 Normal URIs point to files, while the URI starting with
 'mem://:' or 'mem://<filename>' will create
 AliRawReaderDateOnline object which is supposed to be used
 in the online reconstruction

 Get the detector ID
 The list of detector IDs
 can be found in AliDAQ.h

 Get the DDL ID (within one sub-detector)
 The list of detector IDs
 can be found in AliDAQ.h

 read only data of the detector with the given name and in the given
 range of DDLs (minDDLID <= DDLID <= maxDDLID).
 no selection is applied if a value < 0 is used.

 read only data of the detector with the given ID and in the given
 range of DDLs (minDDLID <= DDLID <= maxDDLID).
 no selection is applied if a value < 0 is used.

 read only data of the equipment with the given type and in the given
 range of IDs (minEquipmentId <= EquipmentId <= maxEquipmentId).
 no selection is applied if a value < 0 is used.

 read only events with the given type and optionally
 trigger mask.
 no selection is applied if value = 0 is used.
 Trigger selection can be done via string (triggerExpr)
 which defines the trigger logic to be used. It works only
 after LoadTriggerClass() method is called for all involved
 trigger classes.

 Loads the list of trigger classes defined.
 Used in conjunction with IsEventSelected in the
 case when the trigger selection is given by
 fSelectedTriggerExpr

 Loads the list of trigger aliases defined.
 Replaces the alias by the OR of the triggers included in it.
 The subsiquent call to LoadTriggerClass is needed
 to obtain the final expression in
 fSelectedTriggerExpr

 apply the selection (if any)

 apply the event selection (if any)

 Swap the endianess of the integer value 'x'

 Swap the endianess of the short value 'x'

 reads the next 4 bytes at the current position
 returns kFALSE if the data could not be read

 reads the next 2 bytes at the current position
 returns kFALSE if the data could not be read

 reads the next 1 byte at the current stream position
 returns kFALSE if the data could not be read

 Random access to certain
 event index. Could be very slow
 for some non-root raw-readers.
 So it should be reimplemented there.

 check the consistency of the data
 derived classes should overwrite the default method which returns 0 (no err)

 print the raw data
 if limit is not negative, only the first and last "limit" lines of raw data
 are printed

 Add a raw data error message to the list
 of raw-data decoding errors

 Go to certain event number by
 checking the event ID.
 Useful in case event-selection
 is applied and the 'event' is
 relative

 Method which can be used in order to force the auto-save on
 ESD tree inside AliReconstruction. For the moment it will be
 activated only for AliRawReaderDateOnline.
