Class Description

                                                                      
 A TTree is a list of TBranches                                       //                                                                      
                                                                      
 A TBranch supports:                                                  
   - The list of TLeaf describing this branch.                        
   - The list of TBasket (branch buffers).                            
                                                                      
       See TBranch structure in TTree.

*-*-*-*-*-*Default constructor for Branch*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
*-*        ===================================

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Create a Branch*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
*-*                =====================

       * address is the address of the first item of a structure
         or the address of a pointer to an object (see example).
       * leaflist is the concatenation of all the variable names and types
         separated by a colon character :
         The variable name and the variable type are separated by a slash (/).
         The variable type may be 0,1 or 2 characters. If no type is given,
         the type of the variable is assumed to be the same as the previous
         variable. If the first variable does not have a type, it is assumed
         of type F by default. The list of currently supported types is given below:
            - C : a character string terminated by the 0 character
            - B : an 8 bit signed integer (Char_t)
            - b : an 8 bit unsigned integer (UChar_t)
            - S : a 16 bit signed integer (Short_t)
            - s : a 16 bit unsigned integer (UShort_t)
            - I : a 32 bit signed integer (Int_t)
            - i : a 32 bit unsigned integer (UInt_t)
            - F : a 32 bit floating point (Float_t)
            - D : a 64 bit floating point (Double_t)

         By default, a variable will be copied to the buffer with the number of
         bytes specified in the type descriptor character. However, if the type
         consists of 2 characters, the second character is an integer that
         specifies the number of bytes to be used when copying the variable
         to the output buffer. Example:
             X         ; variable X, type Float_t
             Y/I       : variable Y, type Int_t
             Y/I2      ; variable Y, type Int_t converted to a 16 bits integer

   See an example of a Branch definition in the TTree constructor.

   Note that in case the data type is an object, this branch can contain
   only this object.

    Note that this function is invoked by TTree::Branch

*-*            ====================

  Set file where this branch writes/reads its buffers

  Set file where this branch writes/reads its buffers
  By default the branch buffers reside in the file where the Tree was created.
  Branches of the same Tree may be on different files.

  The Root file will be connected only when necessary.
  If called by TBranch::Fill (via TBasket::WriteFile), the file
  will be created with the option "recreate".
  If called by TBranch::GetEntry (via TBranch::GetBasket), the file
  will be open in read mode.

  To open a file in "update" mode, use TBranch::SetFile(TFile *file).
