class TRFIOSystem: public TSystem


TRFIOFile

A TRFIOFile is like a normal TFile except that it reads and writes
its data via a rfiod server (for more on the rfiod daemon see
http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/pdp/serv/shift.html). TRFIOFile file names
are in standard URL format with protocol "rfio". The following are
valid TRFIOFile URL's:

rfio:/afs/cern.ch/user/r/rdm/galice.root
where galice.root is a symlink of the type /shift/.../...
rfio:na49db1:/data1/raw.root
rfio:/castor/cern.ch/user/r/rdm/test.root

If Castor 2.1 is used the file names can be given also in the
following ways:

rfio://host:port/?path=FILEPATH
rfio://host/?path=FILEPATH
rfio:///castor?path=FILEPATH
rfio://stager_host:stager_port/?path=/castor/cern.ch/user/r/
rdm/bla.root&svcClass=MYSVCLASS&castorVersion=MYCASTORVERSION
rfio://stager_host/?path=/castor/cern.ch/user/r/
rdm/bla.root&svcClass=MYSVCLASS&castorVersion=MYCASTORVERSION
rfio:///castor?path=/castor/cern.ch/user/r/
rdm/bla.root&svcClass=MYSVCLASS&castorVersion=MYCASTORVERSION

path is mandatory as parameter but all the other ones are optional.

For the ultimate description of supported urls see:

Function documentation

TRFIOSystem()
 Create helper class that allows directory access via rfiod.
 The name must start with '-' to bypass the TSystem singleton check.
Int_t MakeDirectory(const char* name)
 Make a directory via rfiod.
void * OpenDirectory(const char* name)
 Open a directory via rfiod. Returns an opaque pointer to a dir
 structure. Returns 0 in case of error.
void FreeDirectory(void* dirp)
 Free directory via rfiod.
const char * GetDirEntry(void* dirp)
 Get directory entry via rfiod. Returns 0 in case no more entries.
Int_t GetPathInfo(const char* path, FileStat_t& buf)
 Get info about a file. Info is returned in the form of a FileStat_t
 structure (see TSystem.h).
 The function returns 0 in case of success and 1 if the file could
 not be stat'ed.
Bool_t AccessPathName(const char* path, EAccessMode mode)
 Returns FALSE if one can access a file using the specified access mode.
 Mode is the same as for the Unix access(2) function.
 Attention, bizarre convention of return value!!
Int_t Unlink(const char* path)
 Unlink, i.e. remove, a file or directory. Returns 0 when succesfull,
 -1 in case of failure.
void * GetDirPtr() const
{ return fDirp; }
