# Brief:   common settings for the RootOutput module
# Date:    December 23rd, 2016
# Author:  Gianluca Petrillo (petrillo@fnal.gov)
# Version: 1.0
#
# Provides:
# 
# - sbnd_rootoutput: base setting (to be overridden) for ROOT output;
#     to completely override the output file name (needed when using
#     EmptyEvent as input module):
#
#     outputs: {
#       out1: {
#         @table::sbnd_rootoutput  # inherit common SBND settings
#         
#         fileName: "..."
#       } # out1
#     } # outputs
#     
#   or, to accept everything::
#     
#     outputs: { out1: @local::sbnd_rootoutput }
#     
#

#
# sbnd_rootoutput: settings for RootOutput module
# 
# This configuration sets compression level and possibly other details.
# but the output file name (fileName) must be provided
# 
# The output file name is made out of the input file name, plus the
# process name (%p) and the time of creation of the output file (%tc).
# This is a good default unless there is no input file name (like in a generation
# process using EmptyEvent as input module).
#
# The compression level 0 will not compress at all. This saves quite some memory.
# Compression level of 7 (default) is slow. Compression level 1 compresses almost
# as much as 7, but it takes much, much less time. 
#
sbnd_rootoutput: {
  module_type:      RootOutput
  
  fileName:         "%ifb_%p-%tc.root"
  compressionLevel:  1  # minimum compression, but some
  saveMemoryObjectThreshold: 0
  
} # sbnd_rootoutput
