class TFileMerger: public TObject


TFileMerger

This class provides file copy and merging services.

It can be used to copy files (not only ROOT files), using TFile or
any of its remote file access plugins. It is therefore usefull in
a Grid environment where the files might be accessable via Castor,
rfio, dcap, etc.
The merging interface allows files containing histograms and trees
to be merged, like the standalone hadd program.

Function documentation

TFileMerger(Bool_t isLocal = kTRUE, Bool_t histoOneGo = kTRUE)
 Create file merger object.
~TFileMerger()
 Cleanup.
void Reset()
 Reset merger file list.
Bool_t AddFile(const char* url, Bool_t cpProgress = kTRUE)
 Add file to file merger.
Bool_t AddFile(TFile* source, Bool_t cpProgress = kTRUE)
 Add the TFile to this file merger and *do not* give ownership of the TFile to this
 object.

 Return kTRUE if the addition was successful.
Bool_t AddAdoptFile(TFile* source, Bool_t cpProgress = kTRUE)
 Add the TFile to this file merger and give ownership of the TFile to this
 object (unless kFALSE is returned).

 Return kTRUE if the addition was successful.
Bool_t AddFile(TFile* source, Bool_t own, Bool_t cpProgress)
 Add the TFile to this file merger and give ownership of the TFile to this
 object (unless kFALSE is returned).

 Return kTRUE if the addition was successful.
Bool_t OutputFile(const char* url, Bool_t force, Int_t compressionLevel)
 Open merger output file.
Bool_t OutputFile(const char* url, Bool_t force)
 Open merger output file.
Bool_t OutputFile(const char* url, const char* mode, Int_t compressionLevel)
 Open merger output file.  'mode' is passed to the TFile constructor as the option, it should
 be one of 'NEW','CREATE','RECREATE','UPDATE'
 'UPDATE' is usually used in conjunction with IncrementalMerge.
Bool_t OutputFile(const char* url, const char* mode = "RECREATE")
 Open merger output file.  'mode' is passed to the TFile constructor as the option, it should
 be one of 'NEW','CREATE','RECREATE','UPDATE'
 'UPDATE' is usually used in conjunction with IncrementalMerge.
void PrintFiles(Option_t* options)
 Print list of files being merged.
Bool_t Merge(Bool_t = kTRUE)
 Merge the files. If no output file was specified it will write into
 the file "FileMerger.root" in the working directory. Returns true
 on success, false in case of error.
Bool_t MergeRecursive(TDirectory* target, TList* sourcelist, Int_t type = kRegular|kAll)
 Merge all objects in a directory
 The type is defined by the bit values in EPartialMergeType:
   kRegular      : normal merge, overwritting the output file (default)
   kIncremental  : merge the input file with the (existing) content of the output file (if already exising)
   kAll          : merge all type of objects (default)
   kResetable    : merge only the objects with a MergeAfterReset member function.
   kNonResetable : merge only the objects without a MergeAfterReset member function.
   kOnlyListed   : merge only objects listed in fObjectNames
   kSkipListed   : skip merging of objects listed in fObjectNames
Bool_t PartialMerge(Int_t type = kAll|kIncremental)
 Merge the files. If no output file was specified it will write into
 the file "FileMerger.root" in the working directory. Returns true
 on success, false in case of error.
 The type is defined by the bit values in EPartialMergeType:
   kRegular      : normal merge, overwritting the output file
   kIncremental  : merge the input file with the content of the output file (if already exising) (default)
   kAll          : merge all type of objects (default)
   kResetable    : merge only the objects with a MergeAfterReset member function.
   kNonResetable : merge only the objects without a MergeAfterReset member function.

 If the type is set to kIncremental the output file is done deleted at the end of
 this operation.  If the type is not set to kIncremental, the output file is closed.
Bool_t OpenExcessFiles()
 Open up to fMaxOpenedFiles of the excess files.
void RecursiveRemove(TObject* obj)
 Intercept the case where the output TFile is deleted!
void SetMaxOpenedFiles(Int_t newmax)
 Set a limit to the number file that TFileMerger will opened at one time.
 If the request is higher than the system limit, we reset it to the system limit.
 If the request is less than two, we reset it to 2 (one for the output file and one for the input file).
void SetMsgPrefix(const char* prefix)
 Set the prefix to be used when printing informational message.
