Geant 3.16 GEANT User’s Guide IOPA001<br />

Origin : Submitted: 15.08.84<br />

Revision : Revised: 16.12.93<br />

Documentation : R.Brun<br />

The I/O routines<br />

The I/O routines allow one to read, write or print the GEANT data structures. All GEANT I/O is handled though<br />

the ZEBRA system, which provides the following facilities:<br />

• native and machine independent I/O to and from disk and tape devices;<br />

• sequential and direct access I/O (from disk);<br />

This allows, for example, to generate events on one machine, dump the data structures to a mass storage<br />

device, and then read them back for further processing on a different machine.<br />

This section describes the various routines for I/O in GEANT. For a complete reference on the ZEBRA I/O<br />

system the user is referred to the ZEBRA documentation [1, 8].<br />
