27 * The control class for HLTOUT data.
28 * The output of the HLT, either from the HLTOUT nodes or simulated output,
29 * is transferred and stored in the HOMER format. The AliHLTOUT class
30 * implements scanning of the HOMER data for all HLTOUT DDL links and
31 * abstracts access to the complete HLTOUT data.
34 class AliHLTOUT : public AliHLTLogging {
36 /** standard constructor */
38 /** standard destructor */
42 * Get number of data blocks in the HLTOUT data
44 int GetNofDataBlocks();
47 * Select the first data block of a certain data type and specification.
48 * The selection criteria can be of kAliHLTAnyDataType and/or
49 * kAliHLTVoidDataSpec in order to be ignored and just match any data block.

51 * @param spec [in] data specification to match <br>

54 * -EPERM if access denied (object locked)
56 int SelectFirstDataBlock(AliHLTComponentDataType dt, AliHLTUInt32_t spec);
59 * Select the next data block of data type and specification of the previous
60 * call to @ref SelectFirstDataBlock.
61 * @return identifier >=0 if success, neg. error code if failed <br>
62 * -ENOENT if no block found <br>
63 * -EPERM if access denied (object locked)
65 int SelectNextDataBlock();

83 * @param pBuffer [in] buffer of the selected data block
85 int ReleaseDataBuffer(const AliHLTUInt8_t* pBuffer);
88 * Locking guard for the AliHLTOUT object.
89 * If the object is locked, the selection of data blocks can not be changed.
