class PDataBase: public TObject

set if param(pkey) provides a unique fast key
this is the case for e.g. "pid"
set the maxkey to max "pid" value

returns a kTRUE if a line with the "key" is already initialized

returns the primary name

check maximum size

check maximum size

check maximum size

check maximum size

BUGBUG: If paramname is a pointer like "d1:name" this does not work->write getDescription

checks for the ":" delmiter, sets the pointer to the remaing string
evaluate the new key
cout << "newparamname init " <<newparamname << endl;

Interpretation of pattern

return kFALSE if 1.) key not existing or 2.) Param not existing or 3.) Param not used for key

return kFALSE if 1.) KEY not existing or 2.) Param not existing or 3.) Param not used for KEY

return kFALSE if 1.) key not existing or 2.) Param not existing or 3.) Param not used for key

return kFALSE if 1.) KEY not existing or 2.) Param not existing or 3.) Param not used for KEY

return kFALSE if 1.) KEY not existing or 2.) Param not existing or 3.) Param not used for KEY

return kFALSE if 1.) KEY not existing or 2.) Param not existing or 3.) Param not used for KEY

return kFALSE if 1.) KEY not existing or 2.) Param not existing or 3.) Param not used for KEY

return kFALSE if 1.) KEY not existing or 2.) Param not existing or 3.) Param not used for KEY

return kFALSE if 1.) KEY not existing or 2.) Param not existing or 3.) Param not used for KEY

return the index key if param(pkey) is matching the value
otherwise -1

This is used to add linked-lists the the entry "name"
The "count" (which should be an int param) holds the number of links
"link" is used for:
1.) setting the key to the last entry of the lists (updated on the fly)
2.) setting the key from the last list entry to the last-but-one
The first list entry points back to the original "name", thus forming a ring
"newname" is the name of the new list entry

get the list entries which belongs to "key" and is described by "counts" and "link"
(both has to be defined in a proper way)
It is very important that on the 1st call *listkey is -1
on the value kTRUE, *listkey contains the key link to the list entry
on the value kFALSE, the iteration has been finished (or not started due to an error)

key=line (or -1 for all)
option=0 : line break =1: no line break
pattern like "mass,width"

constructor

getting particle/decay properties from data base
return kFALSE if 1.) key not existing or 2.) Param not existing or 3.) Param not used for entry

same as above but with the pkey as obtained by the getFastParam's

setting value instead of pointer

getting param by primary name
