/** \class AliL3MemHandler 
<pre>
//_____________________________________________________________
// AliL3MemHandler
//
// The HLT Binary File handler 
//
//  This class does all the memory I/O handling of HLT binary files.
//  
//  Examples:
//  ---------
//
//  1) Reading a binary file:
//  
//  AliL3MemHandler file;
//  file.SetBinaryInput(filename);
//  file.Init(slice,patch);
//
//  UInt_t nrowss;
//  AliL3DigitRowData *data = file.CompBinary2Memory(nrows);
//  
//  for(int i=0; i<nrows; i++) 
//    {
//    
//    AliL3DigitData *dataPt = (AliL3DigitData*)data->fDigitData;
//    for(int j=0; j<data->fNDigit; j++) 
//      {
//        pad = dataPt[j].fPad;
//        time = dataPt[j].fTime;
//        charge = dataPt[j].fCharge;
//      }
//     
//    file.UpdateRowPointer(data);
//  
//    }
//  file.CloseBinaryInput();
//  ________________________
//  
//  2) Writing a binary file:
//  
//  //First of all you need to store the data in memory,
//  //and have a pointer to it of type AliL3DigitRowData.
//  //E.g. if you just want to write the data you read in example 1)
//  //into a new file, you can do the following:
//  
//  AliL3MemHandler newfile;
//  newfile.Init(slice,patch);
//  newfile.SetBinaryOutput(newfilename);
//  newfile.Memory2CompBinary((UInt_t)NumberOfRowsInPatch,(AliL3DigitRowData*)data);
//  newfile.CloseBinaryOutput();
//
//
// Compressed file format:
// -----------------------
//
// The data is RLE encoded and currently using _10_ bit range for the ADC-values.
