13 \class TFileCacheWrite TFileCacheWrite.cxx
14 \ingroup IO
15 A cache when writing files over the network
16 
17 A caching system to speed up network I/O, i.e. when there is
18 no operating system caching support (like the buffer cache for
19 local disk I/O). The cache makes sure that every I/O is done with
20 a (large) fixed length buffer thereby avoiding many small I/O's.
21 Currently the write cache system is used by the classes TNetFile,
22 TXNetFile and TWebFile (via TFile::WriteBuffers()).
23 
24 The write cache is automatically created when writing a remote file
25 (created in TFile::Open()).
