\class TKey
\ingroup IO
 
 Book space in a file, create I/O buffers, to fill them, (un)compress them.
 
 The TKey class includes functions to book space in a file, to create I/O
 buffers, to fill these buffers, to compress/uncompress data buffers.
 Before saving (making persistent) an object in a file, a key must
 be created. The key structure contains all the information to
 uniquely identify a persistent object in a file.
 | Data Member | Explanation |
 |-------------|-------------|
 |  fNbytes    | Number of bytes for the compressed object and key. |
 |  fObjlen    | Length of uncompressed object. |
 |  fDatime    | Date/Time when the object was written. |
 |  fKeylen    | Number of bytes for the key structure. |
 |  fCycle     | Cycle number of the object. |
 |  fSeekKey   | Address of the object on file (points to fNbytes). This is a redundant information used to cross-check the data base integrity. |
 |  fSeekPdir  | Pointer to the directory supporting this object.|
 |  fClassName | Object class name. |
 |  fName      | Name of the object. |
 |  fTitle     | Title of the object. |
 
 In the 16 highest bits of fSeekPdir is encoded a pid offset.  This
 offset is to be added to the pid index stored in the TRef object
 and the referenced TObject.
 
 The TKey class is used by ROOT to:
   - Write an object in the current directory
   - Write a new ntuple buffer
 
 The structure of a file is shown in TFile::TFile.
 The structure of a directory is shown in TDirectoryFile::TDirectoryFile.
 The TKey class is used by the TBasket class.
