class TFileCacheWrite: public TObject


TFileCacheWrite : a cache when writing files over the network

A caching system to speed up network I/O, i.e. when there is
no operating system caching support (like the buffer cache for
local disk I/O). The cache makes sure that every I/O is done with
a (large) fixed length buffer thereby avoiding many small I/O's.
Currently the write cache system is used by the classes TNetFile,
TXNetFile and TWebFile (via TFile::WriteBuffers()).

The write cache is automatically created when writing a remote file
(created in TFile::Open()).

Function documentation

TFileCacheWrite()
 Default Constructor.
TFileCacheWrite(TFile* file, Int_t buffersize)
 Creates a TFileCacheWrite data structure.
 The write cache will be connected to file.
 The size of the cache will be buffersize,
 if buffersize < 10000 a default size of 512 Kbytes is used
~TFileCacheWrite()
 Destructor.
Bool_t Flush()
 Flush the current write buffer to the file.
 Returns kTRUE in case of error.
void Print(Option_t* option = "") const
 Print class internal structure.
Int_t ReadBuffer(char* buf, Long64_t pos, Int_t len)
 Called by the read cache to check if the requested data is not
 in the write cache buffer.
        Returns -1 if data not in write cache,
        0 otherwise.
Int_t WriteBuffer(const char* buf, Long64_t pos, Int_t len)
 Write buffer at position pos in the write buffer.
 The function returns 1 if the buffer has been successfully entered into the write buffer.
 The function returns 0 in case WriteBuffer() was recusively called via Flush().
 The function returns -1 in case of error.
void SetFile(TFile* file)
 Set the file using this cache.
 Any write not yet flushed will be lost.
TFileCacheWrite(const TFileCacheWrite& )
TFileCacheWrite& operator=(const TFileCacheWrite& )
Int_t GetBytesInCache() const
{ return fNtot; }
