Class Description

 Buffer base class used for serializing objects.                      
                                                                      


TBuffer(EMode mode) : fInfo(0), fInfos(10)
 Create an I/O buffer object. Mode should be either TBuffer::kRead or
 TBuffer::kWrite. By default the I/O buffer has a size of
 TBuffer::kInitialSize (1024) bytes.

TBuffer(EMode mode, Int_t bufsiz) : fInfo(0), fInfos(10)
 Create an I/O buffer object. Mode should be either TBuffer::kRead or
 TBuffer::kWrite.

TBuffer(EMode mode, Int_t bufsiz, void *buf, Bool_t adopt) : fInfo(0), fInfos(10)
 Create an I/O buffer object. Mode should be either TBuffer::kRead or
 TBuffer::kWrite. By default the I/O buffer has a size of
 TBuffer::kInitialSize (1024) bytes. An external buffer can be passed
 to TBuffer via the buf argument. By default this buffer will be adopted
 unless adopt is false.

~TBuffer()
 Delete an I/O buffer object.

void SetBuffer(void *buf, UInt_t newsiz, Bool_t adopt)
 Sets a new buffer in an existing TBuffer object. If newsiz=0 then the
 new buffer is expected to have the same size as the previous buffer.
 The current buffer position is reset to the start of the buffer.
 If the TBuffer owned the previous buffer, it will be deleted prior
 to accepting the new buffer. By default the new buffer will be
 adopted unless adopt is false.

void CheckCount(UInt_t offset)
 Check if offset is not too large (< kMaxMapCount) when writing.

UInt_t CheckObject(UInt_t offset, const TClass *cl, Bool_t readClass)
 Check for object in the read map. If the object is 0 it still has to be
 read. Try to read it from the buffer starting at location offset. If the
 object is -1 then it really does not exist and we return 0. If the object
 exists just return the offset.

void Expand(Int_t newsize)
 Expand the I/O buffer to newsize bytes.

TObject* GetParent() const
 Return pointer to parent of this buffer.

void SetParent(TObject *parent)
 Set parent owning this buffer.

void GetMappedObject(UInt_t tag, void* &ptr, TClass* &ClassPtr) const
 Retrieve the object stored in the buffer's object map at 'tag'
 Set ptr and ClassPtr respectively to the address of the object and
 a pointer to its TClass.

void MapObject(const TObject *obj, UInt_t offset)
 Add object to the fMap container.
 If obj is not 0 add object to the map (in read mode also add 0 objects to
 the map). This method may only be called outside this class just before
 calling obj->Streamer() to prevent self reference of obj, in case obj
 contains (via via) a pointer to itself. In that case offset must be 1
 (default value for offset).

void MapObject(const void *obj, const TClass* cl, UInt_t offset)
 Add object to the fMap container.
 If obj is not 0 add object to the map (in read mode also add 0 objects to
 the map). This method may only be called outside this class just before
 calling obj->Streamer() to prevent self reference of obj, in case obj
 contains (via via) a pointer to itself. In that case offset must be 1
 (default value for offset).

void SetReadParam(Int_t mapsize)
 Set the initial size of the map used to store object and class
 references during reading. The default size is kMapSize=503.
 Increasing the default has the benefit that when reading many
 small objects the map does not need to be resized too often
 (the system is always dynamic, even with the default everything
 will work, only the initial resizing will cost some time).
 This method can only be called directly after the creation of
 the TBuffer, before any reading is done. Globally this option
 can be changed using SetGlobalReadParam().

void SetWriteParam(Int_t mapsize)
 Set the initial size of the hashtable used to store object and class
 references during writing. The default size is kMapSize=503.
 Increasing the default has the benefit that when writing many
 small objects the hashtable does not get too many collisions
 (the system is always dynamic, even with the default everything
 will work, only a large number of collisions will cost performance).
 For optimal performance hashsize should always be a prime.
 This method can only be called directly after the creation of
 the TBuffer, before any writing is done. Globally this option
 can be changed using SetGlobalWriteParam().

void InitMap()
 Create the fMap container and initialize them
 with the null object.

void IncrementLevel(TStreamerInfo* info)

void DecrementLevel(TStreamerInfo* /*info*/)

void ResetMap()
 Delete existing fMap and reset map counter.

void SetByteCount(UInt_t cntpos, Bool_t packInVersion)
 Set byte count at position cntpos in the buffer. Generate warning if
 count larger than kMaxMapCount. The count is excluded its own size.

Int_t CheckByteCount(UInt_t startpos, UInt_t bcnt, const TClass *clss, const char *classname)
 Check byte count with current buffer position. They should
 match. If not print warning and position buffer in correct
 place determined by the byte count. Startpos is position of
 first byte where the byte count is written in buffer.
 Returns 0 if everything is ok, otherwise the bytecount offset
 (< 0 when read too little, >0 when read too much).

Int_t CheckByteCount(UInt_t startpos, UInt_t bcnt, const TClass *clss)
 Check byte count with current buffer position. They should
 match. If not print warning and position buffer in correct
 place determined by the byte count. Startpos is position of
 first byte where the byte count is written in buffer.
 Returns 0 if everything is ok, otherwise the bytecount offset
 (< 0 when read too little, >0 when read too much).

Int_t CheckByteCount(UInt_t startpos, UInt_t bcnt, const char *classname)
 Check byte count with current buffer position. They should
 match. If not print warning and position buffer in correct
 place determined by the byte count. Startpos is position of
 first byte where the byte count is written in buffer.
 Returns 0 if everything is ok, otherwise the bytecount offset
 (< 0 when read too little, >0 when read too much).

Int_t ReadBuf(void *buf, Int_t max)
 Read max bytes from the I/O buffer into buf. The function returns
 the actual number of bytes read.

void WriteBuf(const void *buf, Int_t max)
 Write max bytes from buf into the I/O buffer.

Text_t* ReadString(Text_t *s, Int_t max)
 Read string from I/O buffer. String is read till 0 character is
 found or till max-1 characters are read (i.e. string s has max
 bytes allocated). If max = -1 no check on number of character is
 made, reading continues till 0 character is found.

 Write string to I/O buffer. Writes string upto and including the
 terminating 0.

 Return:
  0: success
  2: truncated success (i.e actual class is missing. Only ptrClass saved.)

TObject* ReadObject(const TClass * /*clReq*/)
 Read object from I/O buffer. clReq is NOT used.
 The value returned is the address of the actual start in memory of
 the object. Note that if the actual class of the object does not
 inherit first from TObject, the type of the pointer is NOT 'TObject*'.
 [More accurately, the class needs to start with the TObject part, for
 the pointer to be a real TOject*].
 We recommend using ReadObjectAny instead of ReadObject

 Skip any kind of object from buffer

void* ReadObjectAny(const TClass *clCast)
 Read object from I/O buffer.
 A typical use for this function is:
    MyClass *ptr = (MyClass*)b.ReadObjectAny(MyClass::Class());
 I.e. clCast should point to a TClass object describing the class pointed
 to by your pointer.
 In case of multiple inheritance, the return value might not be the
 real beginning of the object in memory.  You will need to use a
 dynamic_cast later if you need to retrieve it.

void WriteObject(const TObject *obj)
 Write object to I/O buffer.

void WriteObject(const void *actualObjectStart, const TClass *actualClass)

 This function assumes that the value of 'actualObjectStart' is the actual start of
 the object of class 'actualClass'

Int_t WriteObjectAny(const void *obj, const TClass *ptrClass)
 Write object to I/O buffer.
 This function assumes that the value in 'obj' is the value stored in
 a pointer to a "ptrClass". The actual type of the object pointed to
 can be any class derived from "ptrClass".
 Return:
  0: failure (not used yet)
  1: success
  2: truncated success (i.e actual class is missing. Only ptrClass saved.)

TClass* ReadClass(const TClass *clReq, UInt_t *objTag)
 Read class definition from I/O buffer. clReq can be used to cross check
 if the actually read object is of the requested class. objTag is
 set in case the object is a reference to an already read object.

void WriteClass(const TClass *cl)
 Write class description to I/O buffer.

Version_t ReadVersion(UInt_t *startpos, UInt_t *bcnt, const TClass *cl)

 Stream an object given the name of its actual class.

void StreamObject(void *obj, const TClass *cl)
 Stream an object given a pointer to its actual class.

TClass* GetClass(const type_info &typeinfo)
 Forward to TROOT::GetClass

TClass* GetClass(const char *className)
 Forward to TROOT::GetClass

void SetGlobalReadParam(Int_t mapsize)
 Set the initial size of the map used to store object and class
 references during reading. The default size is kMapSize=503.
 Increasing the default has the benefit that when reading many
 small objects the array does not need to be resized too often
 (the system is always dynamic, even with the default everything
 will work, only the initial resizing will cost some time).
 Per TBuffer object this option can be changed using SetReadParam().

void SetGlobalWriteParam(Int_t mapsize)
 Set the initial size of the hashtable used to store object and class
 references during writing. The default size is kMapSize=503.
 Increasing the default has the benefit that when writing many
 small objects the hashtable does not get too many collisions
 (the system is always dynamic, even with the default everything
 will work, only a large number of collisions will cost performance).
 For optimal performance hashsize should always be a prime.
 Per TBuffer object this option can be changed using SetWriteParam().

Int_t GetGlobalReadParam()
 Get default read map size.

Int_t GetGlobalWriteParam()
 Get default write map size.
