/**
 * AliHLTMUONRecHitsSource is a HLT-AliRoot data source object which generates
 * and serves AliHLTMUONRecHitsBlockStruct type data blocks to the HLT system.
 * This is meant as a debugging utility which can optionally generate the data
 * blocks from simulated GEANT hits or MUON offline reconstructed hits.
 *
 * Command line flags:
 *  -simdata
 *      Specify this option to publish GEANT hits.
 *  -recdata
 *      Specify this option to publish offline reconstructed raw clusters.
 *  -plane left|right|all
 *      Specifies if data from the left (x < 0), right (x >= 0) or the whole XY
 *      plane should be published.
 *  -chamber <number>|<number>-<number>[,<number>|<number>-<number>]...
 *      Selects the chambers from which to publish data. Valid chamber numbers
 *      in the range [1..10]. The string after '-chamber' is a comma separated
 *      list of numbers or ranges. Some examples of strings:
 *      1  1-2  1,2,3  1,3-5,7 etc...
 *  -firstevent <number>
 *      Indicates the first event number to fetch from AliRoot. The default is to
 *      start from zero and increment the event number after every GetEvent call.
 *      This mode causes the component to ignore the event number passed to it by
 *      the system and rather use an internal counter. This mode can be overriden
 *      with the -event_number_literal flag.
 *  -event_number_literal
 *      This flag indicates to use the event numbers as literal indices into the
 *      AliRoot trees. This option will cause the component to ignore the -firstevent
 *      flag.
