12 // Set of classes defining the ALICE RAW event format. The AliRawVEvent //
13 // class defines a RAW event. It consists of an AliEventHeader object //
14 // an AliEquipmentHeader object, an AliRawData object and an array of //
15 // sub-events, themselves also being AliRawVEvents. The number of //
16 // sub-events depends on the number of DATE LDC's. //
17 // The AliRawVEvent objects are written to a ROOT file using different //
18 // technologies, i.e. to local disk via AliRawDB or via rfiod using //
19 // AliRawRFIODB or via rootd using AliRawRootdDB or to CASTOR via //
20 // rootd using AliRawCastorDB (and for performance testing there is //
21 // also AliRawNullDB). //
22 // The AliRunDB class provides the interface to the run and file //
23 // catalogues (AliEn or plain MySQL). //
24 // The AliStats class provides statics information that is added as //
25 // a single keyed object to each raw file. //
26 // The AliTagDB provides an interface to a TAG database. //
27 // The AliMDC class is usid by the "alimdc" stand-alone program //
28 // that reads data directly from DATE. //
