+/// directly as an object and also in a TTree to check the behaviour of the streamers.

+/// to test the backward compatibility of AliHLTReadoutList objects.
+///
+/// The macro can be run as follows:
+/// \code
+///   aliroot -b -q GenerateReadoutListFile.C\(\"myoutputfile.root\"\)
+/// \endcode
+/// This will generate the file myoutputfile.root in the current directory.
+/// By omitting the file name the default file name "output.root" will be used.
