The default output format of the reconstruction package is an LCIO (Linear Collider I/O) file. You can inspect these files using these commands:

1) To print the list of saved collection and their sizes use:

anajob Output_REC.slcio

2) To see the details of all the collection of the first event:

dumpevent Output_REC.slcio 1 > event1.txt

If you are interest only in the number of events saved use:

lcio_event_counter Output_REC.slcio

You can also merge or split an LCIO files:

$ lcio_merge_files -h

usage: lcio_merge_files <output-file> <input-file1> [[input-file2],...]

$ lcio_split_file -h

usage: lcio_splitfile infilename outfilename sizeInBytes
