ROOT 6.10/09 Reference Guide |
A ROOT file is a suite of consecutive data records (TKey instances) with a well defined format.
If the key is located past the 32 bit file limit (> 2 GB) then some fields will be 8 instead of 4 bytes:
Byte Range | Member Name | Description |
---|---|---|
1->4 | Nbytes | Length of compressed object (in bytes) |
5->6 | Version | TKey version identifier |
7->10 | ObjLen | Length of uncompressed object |
11->14 | Datime | Date and time when object was written to file |
15->16 | KeyLen | Length of the key structure (in bytes) |
17->18 | Cycle | Cycle of key |
19->22 [19->26] | SeekKey | Pointer to record itself (consistency check) |
23->26 [27->34] | SeekPdir | Pointer to directory header |
27->27 [35->35] | lname | Number of bytes in the class name |
28->.. [36->..] | ClassName | Object Class Name |
..->.. | lname | Number of bytes in the object name |
..->.. | Name | lName bytes with the name of the object |
..->.. | lTitle | Number of bytes in the object title |
..->.. | Title | Title of the object |
--—> | DATA | Data bytes associated to the object |
The first data record starts at byte fBEGIN (currently set to kBEGIN). Bytes 1->kBEGIN contain the file description, when fVersion >= 1000000 it is a large file (> 2 GB) and the offsets will be 8 bytes long and fUnits will be set to 8:
Byte Range | Record Name | Description |
---|---|---|
1->4 | "root" | Root file identifier |
5->8 | fVersion | File format version |
9->12 | fBEGIN | Pointer to first data record |
13->16 [13->20] | fEND | Pointer to first free word at the EOF |
17->20 [21->28] | fSeekFree | Pointer to FREE data record |
21->24 [29->32] | fNbytesFree | Number of bytes in FREE data record |
25->28 [33->36] | nfree | Number of free data records |
29->32 [37->40] | fNbytesName | Number of bytes in TNamed at creation time |
33->33 [41->41] | fUnits | Number of bytes for file pointers |
34->37 [42->45] | fCompress | Compression level and algorithm |
38->41 [46->53] | fSeekInfo | Pointer to TStreamerInfo record |
42->45 [54->57] | fNbytesInfo | Number of bytes in TStreamerInfo record |
46->63 [58->75] | fUUID | Universal Unique ID |

Opens or creates a local ROOT file.
[in] | fname1 | The name of the file |
[in] | option | Specifies the mode in which the file is opened |
[in] | ftitle | The title of the file |
[in] | compress | Specifies the compression algorithm and level |
It is recommended to specify fname1 as "<file>.root". The suffix ".root" will be used by object browsers to automatically identify the file as a ROOT file. If the constructor fails in any way IsZombie() will return true. Use IsOpen() to check if the file is (still) open. To open non-local files use the static TFile::Open() method, that will take care of opening the files using the correct remote file access plugin.
Option | Description |
---|---|
NEW or CREATE | Create a new file and open it for writing, if the file already exists the file is not opened. |
RECREATE | Create a new file, if the file already exists it will be overwritten. |
UPDATE | Open an existing file for writing. If no file exists, it is created. |
READ | Open an existing file for reading (default). |
NET | Used by derived remote file access classes, not a user callable option. |
WEB | Used by derived remote http access class, not a user callable option. |
If option = "" (default), READ is assumed. The file can be specified as a URL of the form:
file:///user/rdm/bla.root or file:/user/rdm/bla.root
The file can also be a member of an archive, in which case it is specified as:
multi.zip#file.root or multi.zip#0
which will open file.root which is a member of the file multi.zip archive or member 1 from the archive. For more on archive file support see the TArchiveFile class. TFile and its remote access plugins can also be used to open any file, i.e. also non ROOT files, using:
file.tar?filetype=raw
This is convenient because the many remote file access plugins allow easy access to/from the many different mass storage systems. The title of the file (ftitle) will be shown by the ROOT browsers. A ROOT file (like a Unix file system) may contain objects and directories. There are no restrictions for the number of levels of directories. A ROOT file is designed such that one can write in the file in pure sequential mode (case of BATCH jobs). In this case, the file may be read sequentially again without using the file index written at the end of the file. In case of a job crash, all the information on the file is therefore protected. A ROOT file can be used interactively. In this case, one has the possibility to delete existing objects and add new ones. When an object is deleted from the file, the freed space is added into the FREE linked list (fFree). The FREE list consists of a chain of consecutive free segments on the file. At the same time, the first 4 bytes of the freed record on the file are overwritten by GAPSIZE where GAPSIZE = -(Number of bytes occupied by the record). Option compress is used to specify the compression level and algorithm:
compress = 100 * algorithm + level
Level | Explanation |
---|---|
0 | objects written to this file will not be compressed. |
1 | minimal compression level but fast. |
... | .... |
9 | maximal compression level but slower and might use more memory. |
(For the currently supported algorithms, the maximum level is 9) If compress is negative it indicates the compression level is not set yet. The enumeration ROOT::ECompressionAlgorithm associates each algorithm with a number. There is a utility function to help to set the value of compress. For example, ROOT::CompressionSettings(ROOT::kLZMA, 1) will build an integer which will set the compression to use the LZMA algorithm and compression level 1. These are defined in the header file Compression.h. Note that the compression settings may be changed at any time. The new compression settings will only apply to branches created or attached after the setting is changed and other objects written after the setting is changed. In case the file does not exist or is not a valid ROOT file, it is made a Zombie. One can detect this situation with a code like:
When opening the file, the system checks the validity of this directory. If something wrong is detected, an automatic Recovery is performed. In this case, the file is scanned sequentially reading all logical blocks and attempting to rebuild a correct directory (see TFile::Recover). One can disable the automatic recovery procedure when reading one or more files by setting the environment variable "TFile.Recover: 0" in the system.rootrc file.

Submit an asynchronous open request.
See TFile::Open(const char *, ...) for an explanation of the arguments. A handler is returned which is to be passed to TFile::Open(TFileOpenHandle *) to get the real TFile instance once the file is open. This call never blocks and it is provided to allow parallel submission of file opening operations expected to take a long time. TFile::Open(TFileOpenHandle *) may block if the file is not yet ready. The sequence
TFile::Open(TFile::AsyncOpen(const char *, ...))
is equivalent to
TFile::Open(const char *, ...)
To be effective, the underlying TFile implementation must be able to support asynchronous open functionality. Currently, only TXNetFile supports it. If the functionality is not implemented, this call acts transparently by returning an handle with the arguments for the standard synchronous open run by TFile::Open(TFileOpenHandle *). The retuned handle will be adopted by TFile after opening completion in TFile::Open(TFileOpenHandle *); if opening is not finalized the handle must be deleted by the caller.
Close a file.
[in] | option | If option == "R", all TProcessIDs referenced by this file are deleted. |
Calling TFile::Close("R") might be necessary in case one reads a long list of files having TRef, writing some of the referenced objects or TRef to a new file. If the TRef or referenced objects of the file being closed will not be referenced again, it is possible to minimize the size of the TProcessID data structures in memory by forcing a delete of the unused TProcessID.

Resolve the file type as a function of the protocol field in 'name'.
If defined, the string 'prefix' is added when testing the locality of a 'name' with network-like structure (i.e. root://host//path); if the file is local, on return 'prefix' will contain the actual local path of the file.

Mark unused bytes on the file.
The list of free segments is in the fFree linked list. When an object is deleted from the file, the freed space is added into the FREE linked list (fFree). The FREE list consists of a chain of consecutive free segments on the file. At the same time, the first 4 bytes of the freed record on the file are overwritten by GAPSIZE where GAPSIZE = -(Number of bytes occupied by the record).

Generate source code necessary to access the objects stored in the file.
Generate code in directory dirname for all classes specified in argument classes If classes = "*" (default and currently the only supported value), the function generates an include file for each class in the StreamerInfo list for which a TClass object does not exist.
The code generated includes:
In the generated classes, map, multimap when the first template parameter is a class are replaced by a vector of pair. set and multiset when the tempalte parameter is a class are replaced by a vector. This is required since we do not have the code needed to order and/or compare the object of the classes. This is a quick explanation of the options available:
Option | Details |
---|---|
new (default) | A new directory dirname is created. If dirname already exist, an error message is printed and the function returns. |
recreate | If dirname does not exist, it is created (like in "new"). If dirname already exist, all existing files in dirname are deleted before creating the new files. |
update | New classes are added to the existing directory. Existing classes with the same name are replaced by the new definition. If the directory dirname doest not exist, same effect as "new". |
genreflex | Use genreflex rather than rootcint to generate the dictionary. |
par | Create a PAR file with the minimal set of code needed to read the content of the ROOT file. The name of the PAR file is basename(dirname), with extension '.par' enforced; the PAR file will be created at dirname(dirname). |
If, in addition to one of the 3 above options, the option "+" is specified, the function will generate:
gSystem->load("demo/demo.so");
The following feature is not yet enabled: One can restrict the list of classes to be generated by using expressions like:
classes = "Ali*" generate code only for classes starting with Ali classes = "myClass" generate code for class MyClass only.

Create / open a file.
The type of the file can be either a TFile, TNetFile, TWebFile or any TFile derived class for which an plugin library handler has been registered with the plugin manager (for the plugin manager see the TPluginManager class). The returned type of TFile depends on the file name specified by 'url'. If 'url' is a '|'-separated list of file URLs, the 'URLs' are tried sequentially in the specified order until a successful open. If the file starts with "root:", "roots:" or "rootk:" a TNetFile object will be returned, with "http:" a TWebFile, with "file:" a local TFile, etc. (see the list of TFile plugin handlers in $ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc for regular expressions that will be checked) and as last a local file will be tried. Before opening a file via TNetFile a check is made to see if the URL specifies a local file. If that is the case the file will be opened via a normal TFile. To force the opening of a local file via a TNetFile use either TNetFile directly or specify as host "localhost". The netopt argument is only used by TNetFile. For the meaning of the options and other arguments see the constructors of the individual file classes. In case of error returns 0.
For TFile implementations supporting asynchronous file open, see TFile::AsyncOpen(...), it is possible to request a timeout with the option TIMEOUT=<secs>: the timeout must be specified in seconds and it will be internally checked with granularity of one millisec. For remote files there is the option: CACHEREAD opens an existing file for reading through the file cache. The file will be downloaded to the cache and opened from there. If the download fails, it will be opened remotely. The file will be downloaded to the directory specified by SetCacheFileDir().
The caller is responsible for deleting the pointer.

Open a file for reading through the file cache.
The file will be downloaded to the cache and opened from there. If the download fails, it will be opened remotely. The file will be downloaded to the directory specified by SetCacheFileDir().
Paint all objects in the file.
Reimplemented from TDirectory.
Read a buffer from the file.
This is the basic low level read operation. Returns kTRUE in case of failure.
Reimplemented in TSQLFile, TXNetFile, TDavixFile, TXMLFile, TWebFile, TNetFile, TNetXNGFile, TDCacheFile, and TGFALFile.
Read a buffer from the file at the offset 'pos' in the file.
Returns kTRUE in case of failure. Compared to ReadBuffer(char*, Int_t), this routine does not change the cursor on the physical file representation (fD) if the data is in this TFile's cache.
Reimplemented in TSQLFile, TXNetFile, TDavixFile, TXMLFile, TWebFile, TNetFile, TNetXNGFile, TDCacheFile, and TGFALFile.
Reimplemented in TXNetFile, and TDavixFile.
Read the nbuf blocks described in arrays pos and len.
The value pos[i] is the seek position of block i of length len[i]. Note that for nbuf=1, this call is equivalent to TFile::ReafBuffer. This function is overloaded by TNetFile, TWebFile, etc. Returns kTRUE in case of failure.
Reimplemented in TXNetFile, TDavixFile, TS3WebFile, TWebFile, TNetFile, TNetXNGFile, TDCacheFile, TChirpFile, and TRFIOFile.

The TProcessID with number pidf is read from this file.
If the object is not already entered in the gROOT list, it is added.

Read the list of StreamerInfo from this file.
The key with name holding the list of TStreamerInfo objects is read. The corresponding TClass objects are updated. Note that this function is not called if the static member fgReadInfo is false. (see TFile::SetReadStreamerInfo)

Attempt to recover file if not correctly closed.
The function returns the number of keys that have been recovered. If no keys can be recovered, the file will be declared Zombie by the calling function. This function is automatically called when opening a file. If the file is open in read only mode, the file is not modified. If open in update mode and the function finds something to recover, a new directory header is written to the file. When opening the file gain no message from Recover will be reported. If keys have been recovered, the file is usable and you can safely read the corresponding objects. If the file is not usable (a zombie), you can test for this case with code like:
If the file has been recovered, the bit kRecovered is set in the TFile object in memory. You can test if the file has been recovered with
if (f.TestBit(TFile::kRecovered)) {... the file has been recovered}
When writing TTrees to a file, it is important to save the Tree header at regular intervals (see TTree::AutoSave). If a file containing a Tree is recovered, the last Tree header written to the file will be used. In this case all the entries in all the branches written before writing the header are valid entries. One can disable the automatic recovery procedure by setting
TFile.Recover 0
in the system.rootrc file.
Reopen a file with a different access mode.
For example, it is possible to change from READ to UPDATE or from NEW, CREATE, RECREATE, UPDATE to READ. Thus the mode argument can be either "READ" or "UPDATE". The method returns 0 in case the mode was successfully modified, 1 in case the mode did not change (was already as requested or wrong input arguments) and -1 in case of failure, in which case the file cannot be used anymore. The current directory (gFile) is changed to this file.
Reimplemented in TSQLFile, TXMLFile, TWebFile, TNetFile, and TNetXNGFile.

Seek to a specific position in the file. Pos it either kBeg, kCur or kEnd.

Set a pointer to the read cache.
This relinquishes ownership of the previous cache, so if you do not already have a pointer to the previous cache (and there was a previous cache), you ought to retrieve (and delete it if needed) using:
TFileCacheRead *older = myfile->GetCacheRead();
The action specifies how to behave when detaching a cache from the the TFile. If set to (default) kDisconnect, the contents of the cache will be flushed when it is removed from the file, and it will disconnect the cache object from the file. In almost all cases, this is what you want. If you want to disconnect the cache temporarily from this tree and re-attach later to the same fil, you can set action to kDoNotDisconnect. This will allow things like prefetching to continue in the background while it is no longer the default cache for the TTree. Except for a few expert use cases, kDisconnect is likely the correct setting.
WARNING: if action=kDoNotDisconnect, you MUST delete the cache before TFile.

Specify if the streamerinfos must be read at file opening.
If fgReadInfo is true (default) TFile::ReadStreamerInfo is called when opening the file. It may be interesting to set fgReadInfo to false to speedup the file opening time or in case libraries containing classes referenced by the file have not yet been loaded. if fgReadInfo is false, one can still read the StreamerInfo with myfile.ReadStreamerInfo();

Reimplemented in TMemFile, TSQLFile, TDCacheFile, TXMLFile, TGFALFile, THDFSFile, TRFIOFile, and TChirpFile.
Write memory objects to this file.
Loop on all objects in memory (including subdirectories). A new key is created in the KEYS linked list for each object. The list of keys is then saved on the file (via WriteKeys) as a single data record. For values of opt see TObject::Write(). The directory header info is rewritten on the directory header record. The linked list of FREE segments is written. The file header is written (bytes 1->fBEGIN).
Reimplemented from TDirectoryFile.
