This is a short page intended to help a novice user of the CDF Run II run
the Edm_ObjectLister utility to determine what banks and storable
objects exist in a particular datafile.
Edm_ObjectLister is very easy to use. First, do the ordinary setup commands to setup the cdfsoft2 software. For a frozen release, the Edm_ObjectLister utility will likely be working, but for the development version, it may often be broken.
If you wanted to dump n_events number of events in the datafile file_name:
Edm_ObjectLister -n n_events file_name
The terminal window is the standard output screen, and the output will be
dumped to it.
You may want to save it to an output log file. In this case, you can type:
Edm_ObjectLister -n n_events file_name > log
To find out other optional arguments to Edm_ObjectLister and for
general help:
Edm_ObjectLister --help
If you want to dump any of these banks or storable objects, you
may use the ac++dump utility. Information on how to run this
tool can be found here.
