40/**
41 * A light weight class for reading the contents of an internal dimuon HLT
42 * data block.
43 * Suppose we are given a pointer 'buffer' to the buffer where a data block is
44 * stored in memory and the size of the data block is given by the variable 'size'.
45 * The data block is of type 'block_type' and the data block entries are of type
46 * 'entries_type'. The data block can be accessed in the following way:
1d970015 47 * \code
b3eef24e 48 * void* buffer = somebuffer;
49 * AliHLTUInt32_t size = somebuffer_size;
50 *
51 * // Initialise the data block reader.
52 * AliHLTMUONDataBlockReader<block_type, entries_type> block(buffer, size);
53 *
54 * // Check that the buffer has the expected size.
55 * if (not block.BufferSizeOk())
56 * {
57 * // handle error...
58 * }
59 *
60 * // Find the number of entries in the data block.
61 * AliHLTUInt32_t nentries = block.Nentries();
62 *
63 * // Loop over all entries in the data block.
64 * for (AliHLTUInt32_t i = 0; i < nentries; i++)
65 * {
66 * const entries_type& entry = block[i];
67 * // Do something with the entry...
68 * }
