A ROOT file.

A ROOT file is an object store: it can serialize any object for which ROOT I/O is available (generally: an object which has a dictionary), and it stores the object's data under a key name.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ RFile()

ROOT::Experimental::RFile::RFile ( std::unique_ptr< Internal::RFileStorageInterface > && storage )

private

Definition at line 206 of file RFile.cxx.

◆ ~RFile()

ROOT::Experimental::RFile::~RFile ( )

default

Must not call Write() of all attached objects: some might not be needed to be written or writing might be aborted due to an exception; require explicit Write().

Member Function Documentation

◆ Close()

void ROOT::Experimental::RFile::Close ( )

Flush() and make the file non-writable: close it.

Definition at line 218 of file RFile.cxx.

◆ Create()

ROOT::Experimental::RFilePtr ROOT::Experimental::RFile::Create	(	std::string_view	name,
		const Options_t &	opts = Options_t() )

static

Open a file with name for reading and writing.

Fail (return an invalid RFilePtr) if a file with this name already exists.

Note: : Synchronizes multi-threaded accesses through locks.

Definition at line 162 of file RFile.cxx.

◆ Flush()

void ROOT::Experimental::RFile::Flush ( )

Save all objects associated with this directory (including file header) to the storage medium.

Definition at line 214 of file RFile.cxx.

◆ GetCacheDir()

std::string ROOT::Experimental::RFile::GetCacheDir ( )

static

Get the directory used for cached reads.

Definition at line 198 of file RFile.cxx.

◆ Open()

ROOT::Experimental::RFilePtr ROOT::Experimental::RFile::Open	(	std::string_view	name,
		const Options_t &	opts = Options_t() )

static

Open a file with name for reading.

Note: : Synchronizes multi-threaded accesses through locks.

Definition at line 153 of file RFile.cxx.

◆ OpenForUpdate()

ROOT::Experimental::RFilePtr ROOT::Experimental::RFile::OpenForUpdate	(	std::string_view	name,
		const Options_t &	opts = Options_t() )

static

Open an existing file with name for reading and writing.

If a file with that name does not exist, an invalid RFilePtr will be returned.

Note: : Synchronizes multi-threaded accesses through locks.

Definition at line 180 of file RFile.cxx.

◆ Read()

template<class T >

std::unique_ptr< T > ROOT::Experimental::RFile::Read ( std::string_view name )

inline

Read the object for a key.

T must be the object's type. This will re-read the object for each call, returning a new copy; whether the RDirectory is managing an object attached to this key or not.

Returns: a unique_ptr to the object.

Exceptions

RDirectoryUnknownKey	if no object is stored under this name.
RDirectoryTypeMismatch	if the object stored under this name is of a type different from `T`.

Definition at line 132 of file RFile.hxx.

◆ Recreate()

ROOT::Experimental::RFilePtr ROOT::Experimental::RFile::Recreate	(	std::string_view	name,
		const Options_t &	opts = Options_t() )

static

Open a file with name for reading and writing.

If a file with this name already exists, delete it and create a new one. Else simply create a new file.

Note: : Synchronizes multi-threaded accesses through locks.

Definition at line 171 of file RFile.cxx.

◆ SetCacheDir()

std::string ROOT::Experimental::RFile::SetCacheDir ( std::string_view path )

static

Set the new directory used for cached reads, returns the old directory.

Note: : Synchronizes multi-threaded accesses through locks.

Definition at line 189 of file RFile.cxx.

◆ Write() [1/4]

void ROOT::Experimental::RFile::Write ( std::string_view name )

inline

Write an object that is already lifetime managed by this RFileImplBase.

Definition at line 157 of file RFile.hxx.

◆ Write() [2/4]

template<class T >

void ROOT::Experimental::RFile::Write	(	std::string_view	name,
		const T &	obj )

inline

Write an object that is not lifetime managed by this RFileImplBase.

Definition at line 144 of file RFile.hxx.

◆ Write() [3/4]

template<class T >

void ROOT::Experimental::RFile::Write	(	std::string_view	name,
		const T *	obj )

inline

Write an object that is not lifetime managed by this RFileImplBase.

Definition at line 151 of file RFile.hxx.

◆ Write() [4/4]

template<class T >

void ROOT::Experimental::RFile::Write	(	std::string_view	name,
		std::shared_ptr< T > &&	obj )

inline

Hand over lifetime management of an object to this RFileImplBase, and write it.

Definition at line 166 of file RFile.hxx.

◆ WriteMemoryWithType()

void ROOT::Experimental::RFile::WriteMemoryWithType	(	std::string_view	name,
		const void *	address,
		TClass *	cl )

private

Serialize the object at address, using the object's TClass.

Definition at line 222 of file RFile.cxx.
