+ * should return @ref kAliHLTMultipleDataType. The framework will invoke
+ * @ref GetOutputDataTypes, a list can be filled.
*
* @subsection alihltcomponent-processing-mehods Data processing
*
*
* @subsection alihltcomponent-type Component type
* Components can be of type
- * - @ref kSource: components which only produce data
- * - @ref kProcessor: components which consume and produce data
- * - @ref kSink: components which only consume data
+ * - @ref kSource components which only produce data
+ * - @ref kProcessor components which consume and produce data
+ * - @ref kSink components which only consume data
*
* where data production and consumption refer to the analysis data stream. In
* order to indicate the type, a child component can overload the
* member functions for those environment dependend functions. The member
* functions are used by the component implementation and are re-mapped to the
* corresponding functions.
+ *
* @section alihltcomponent-interfaces Component interfaces
* Each of the 3 standard component base classes AliHLTProcessor, AliHLTDataSource
* and AliHLTDataSink provides it's own processing method (see
* The @ref alihltcomponent-high-level-interface is the standard processing
* method and will be used whenever the low-level method is not overloaded.
*
+ * In both cases it is necessary to calculate/estimate the size of the output
+ * buffer before the processing. Output buffers can never be allocated inside
+ * the component because of the push-architecture of the HLT.
+ * For that reason the @ref GetOutputDataSize function should return a rough
+ * estimatian of the data to be produced by the component. The component is
+ * responsible for checking the memory size and must return -ENOSPC if the
+ * available buffer is to small, and update the estimator respectively. The
+ * framework will allocate a buffer of appropriate size and call the processing
+ * again.
+ *
+ * @subsection alihltcomponent-error-codes Data processing
+ * For return codes, the following scheme applies:
+ * - The data processing methods have to indicate error conditions by a negative
+ * error/return code. Preferably the system error codes are used like
+ * e.g. -EINVAL. This requires to include the header
+ * <pre>
+ * \#include \<cerrno\>
+ * </pre>
+ * - If no suitable input block could be found (e.g. no clusters for the TPC cluster
+ * finder) set size to 0, block list is empty, return 0
+ * - If no ususable or significant signal could be found in the input blocks
+ * return an empty output block, set size accordingly, and return 0. An empty output
+ * block here could be either a real empty one of size 0 (in which case size also
+ * would have to be set to zero) or a block filled with just the minimum necessary
+ * accounting/meta-structures. E.g. in the TPC
+ *
* @subsection alihltcomponent-high-level-interface High-level interface
* The high-level component interface provides functionality to exchange ROOT
* structures between components. In contrast to the
* add event information to the output
*
* In addition, the processing methods are simplified a bit by cutting out most of
- * the parameters. The component implementation
- * @see AliHLTProcessor AliHLTDataSource AliHLTDataSink
+ * the parameters.
+ * @see
+ * - @ref AliHLTProcessor::DoEvent
+ * - @ref AliHLTDataSource::GetEvent
+ * - @ref AliHLTDataSink::DumpEvent
+ *
+ * \em IMPORTANT: objects and block descriptors provided by the high-level interface
+ * <b>MUST NOT BE DELETED</b> by the caller.
