Introduction

EventStorage package contains a library used by several DAQ applications to write data files. The library is also used by offline software to write simulation output in the form of ByteStream.
  1. the EventStorage library is dealing with the files (and their format) in which we store events. The document describing the library and the content of each Raw File (header, metadata content, filename conventions, etc) is found at: https://edms.cern.ch/document/580290/7
  2. The format of the individual events themselves are following the eformat document: https://edms.cern.ch/document/445840/5.0a
    The corresponding implementation is in the eformat library.
This package also contains an interface for reading data files (DataReader) and some implementations of it. Those are used by the Offline Software and by test programs of the DAQ.
