class TFileCacheRead: public TObject


TFileCacheRead : a cache when reading 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 read cache system is used by the classes TNetFile,
TXNetFile and TWebFile (via TFile::ReadBuffers()).

When processing TTree, TChain, a specialized class TTreeCache that
derives from this class is automatically created.

Function documentation

TFileCacheRead()
 Default Constructor.
TFileCacheRead(TFile* file, Int_t buffersize)
 Creates a TFileCacheRead data structure.
~TFileCacheRead()
 Destructor.
void Prefetch(Long64_t pos, Int_t len)
 Add block of length len at position pos in the list of blocks to
 be prefetched. If pos <= 0 the current blocks (if any) are reset.
void Print(Option_t* option = "") const
 Print class internal structure.
Int_t ReadBuffer(char* buf, Long64_t pos, Int_t len)
 Read buffer at position pos.
 If pos is in the list of prefetched blocks read from fBuffer,
 otherwise need to make a normal read from file. Returns -1 in case of
 read error, 0 in case not in cache, 1 in case read from cache.
void SetFile(TFile* file)
 Set the file using this cache and reset the current blocks (if any).
void Sort()
 Sort buffers to be prefetched in increasing order of positions.
 Merge consecutive blocks if necessary.
TFileCacheRead(const TFileCacheRead& )
TFileCacheRead& operator=(const TFileCacheRead& )
Int_t GetBufferSize() const
{ return fBufferSize; }
Bool_t IsAsyncReading() const
{ return fAsyncReading; }
