41/**
42 * A light weight class for writing an internal dimuon HLT data block.
43 * Suppose we are given a pointer 'buffer' to some empty memory buffer where we
44 * can store our new data block and the size of the data block is given by the
45 * variable 'size'. The data block is of type 'block_type', the data block entries
46 * are of type 'entries_type' and the data block type code is 'type_code'.
47 * The data block can be written in the following way:
48 * \code
49 * void* buffer = somebuffer;
50 * AliHLTUInt32_t size = somebuffer_size;
51 *
52 * // Initialise the data block writer.
53 * AliHLTMUONDataBlockWriter<block_type, entries_type, type_code>
54 * block(buffer, size);
55 *
56 * // Initialise the block header
57 * if (not block.InitCommonHeader())
58 * {
59 * // handle error and exit...
60 * }
61 *
62 * // Tell the writer how many entries we are going to use.
63 * if (not block.SetNumberOfEntries(somevalue))
64 * {
65 * // handle error and exit...
66 * }
67 *
68 * // Add all the entries to the data block.
69 * for (AliHLTUInt32_t i = 0; i < block.Nentries(); i++)
70 * {
71 * entries_type& entry = block[i];
72 * // fill the new entry...
73 * entry.somefield = somevalue;
74 * }
75 * \endcode
76 * The slightly slower but safer method is to do the following:
77 * \code
78 * AliHLTMUONDataBlockWriter<block_type, entries_type, type_code>
79 * block(buffer, size);
80 * if (not block.InitCommonHeader())
81 * {
82 * // handle error and exit...
83 * }
84 *
85 * // For each new entry add it to the data block.
86 * while (HaveMoreEntries())
87 * {
88 * entries_type* entry = block.AddEntry();
89 * if (entry == NULL)
90 * {
91 * // handle buffer overflow and exit...
92 * }
93 * // fill the new entry...
94 * entry->somefield = somevalue;
95 * }
96 * \endcode
