# TFPBlock* ``` This class represents the encapsulation of a block request. It contains the chunks to be prefetched and also serves as a container for the information read. These blocks are prefetch in a special reader thread by the TFilePrefetch class. ``` ```cpp class TFPBlock : public TObject ``` ## class ```cpp private: char *fBuffer; ///< Content of the block Int_t fNblock; ///< Number of segment in the block Long64_t fDataSize; ///< Total size of useful data in the block Long64_t fCapacity; ///< Capacity of the buffer Int_t *fLen; ///< Array of lengths of each segment Long64_t *fPos; ///< Array of positions of each segment Long64_t *fRelOffset; ///< Relative offset of piece in the buffer TFPBlock(const TFPBlock&); // Not implemented.
