/**
 * @file extract-ddlraw.C
 * @brief Tool to extract DDL raw data.
 *
 * Usage:
 * <pre>
 *   aliroot -b -q 'extract-ddlraw.C("raw.root", 768, 769)' | tee extract-ddlraw.log
 * </pre>
 *
 * This macro is an example for the AliHLTRawReaderPublisherComponent.
 * It extracts the DDL payload from an AliRawReader in a given equipment
 * range. Input can be either a root file or the path to the directory
 * containing the 'rawx' sub folders.
 *
 * A light-weight AliReconstruction-like setup creates the appropriate
 * RawReader for the specified input and uses the standard AliHLTReconstructor
 * to run a small HLT chain. The chain utilizes the AliRawReaderPublisher
 * to extract the payload of the equipments and writes this to files.
 *
 * @note In this example the AliHLTRawReaderPublisherComponent does not set any data
 * type nor specification for the published data blocks. Please remember
 * to provide appropriate arguments via '-datatype' and '-dataspec'
 * arguments (see AliHLTRawReaderPublisherComponent).
