Class Description

                                                                      
 TRFIOFile                                                            
                                                                      
 A TRFIOFile is like a normal TFile except that it reads and writes   
 its data via a rfiod server (for more on the rfiod daemon see        
 http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/pdp/serv/shift.html). TRFIOFile file names    
 are in standard URL format with protocol "rfio". The following are   
 valid TRFIOFile URL's:                                               
                                                                      
    rfio:/afs/cern.ch/user/r/rdm/galice.root                          
         where galice.root is a symlink of the type /shift/.../...    
    rfio:na49db1:/data1/raw.root                                      
                                                                      


TRFIOSystem() : TSystem("-rfio", "RFIO Helper System")
 Create helper class that allows directory access via rfiod.

Int_t MakeDirectory(const char *dir)
 Make a directory via rfiod.

void* OpenDirectory(const char *dir)
 Open a directory via rfiod. Returns an opaque pointer to a dir
 structure. Returns 0 in case of error.

void FreeDirectory(void *dirp)
 Free directory via rfiod.

const char* GetDirEntry(void *dirp)
 Get directory entry via rfiod. Returns 0 in case no more entries.

Int_t GetPathInfo(const char *path, Long_t *id, Long_t *size, Long_t *flags, Long_t *modtime)
 Get info about a file: id, size, flags, modification time.
 Id      is 0 for RFIO file
 Size    is the file size
 Flags   is file type: 0 is regular file, bit 0 set executable,
                       bit 1 set directory, bit 2 set special file
                       (socket, fifo, pipe, etc.)
 Modtime is modification time.
 The function returns 0 in case of success and 1 if the file could
 not be stat'ed.

Bool_t AccessPathName(const char *path, EAccessMode mode)
 Returns FALSE if one can access a file using the specified access mode.
 Mode is the same as for the Unix access(2) function.
 Attention, bizarre convention of return value!!
