◆ ensureFiles()

bool o2::eventgen::GeneratorFileOrCmd::ensureFiles ( )

protectedvirtual

Ensure that all files in the list of file names exists. If any of te file names point to a net resource (e.g., alien://or https://) then this member function should not be called

The file names registered are replaced with their canonical path equivalents.

Returns: true if all currently registered file names can be found.
