 * @class AliHLTTPCDigitDumpComponent
 * A converter for digit data of the TPC input to ASCII output.
 * Data blocks of type ::kAliHLTDataTypeDDLRaw and origin 'TPC ' is docoded
 * written in readable ASCII format to a file.
 * 
 * Component ID: \b TPCDigitDump <br>
 * Library: \b libAliHLTTPC
 *
 * See AliHLTFileWriter for arguments, further specific options
 * Mandatory arguments: <br>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 *
 * Optional arguments: <br>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 * \li -digitreader    <i> reader   </i> <br>
 *      type of the digit reader: <i>unpacked, packed, raw, decoder</i>
 *      default 'decoder' 
 * \li -rcutrailersize    <i> size   </i> <br>
 *      size of the RCU trailer in 32bit words (default 2), if digitreader
 *      'decoder' is used, the trailer size is determined automatically
 * \li -rawreadermode  <i> mode   </i> <br>
 *      data mode of the <b>AliHLTTPCDigitReaderRaw</b> 
 * \li -unsorted <br>
 *      unsorted mode of digit readers (default sorted)
 * \li -sorted <br>
 *      sorted mode of digit readers (default)
