Title of the Histogram:

string title() const;

Directory of the Histogram (internal to file manager):

string dir() const;

Absolute path of this directory:

string absTitle() const;

HepFileManager managing this Histogram:

HepFileManager * Manager() const;

The id (assigned by the manager or user):

int id() const;

The type of the object:

char type() const;

Each class has a static data member named typeId containing its type indentification letter. Only full types (HepNtuple, HepHist1D, HepHist2D, HepHistProf and HepDir, for directories) have one.

For example HepHist1D::typeId

Status of the Object:

bool isValid() const;

An object can be invalidated if an Exception was raised and ignored during its operation (however, depending of the case some Exceptions could also be ignored witout problem for the object).

Release

Releasing an object indicates to the HepFileManager that the user is done with it and that it can eventually re-use its memory footprint. Usually the manager will also flush the object to disk (for disk based manager).

void release() const;

Do not use the object after this call!
