# hepmc2
Read and write event files in the `hepmc2` format, also known as
`IO_GenEvent`.
## Caveats
This crate is inspired by the code for the `ReaderAsciiHepMC2` in the
[HepMC3 library](https://gitlab.cern.ch/hepmc/HepMC3), version
3.2.0. The aim is to be fully compatible, but be aware that the
current tests are not exhaustive.
## Example
```rust
// Read events from `events_in.hepmc2` and write them to `events_out.hepmc2`
use hepmc2::{Reader, Writer};
use std::io::BufReader;
use std::fs::File;
let input = BufReader::new(File::open("events_in.hepmc2")?);
let in_events = Reader::from(input);
let output = File::create("events_out.hepmc2")?;
let mut writer = Writer::try_from(output)?;
for event in in_events {
let event = event?;
println!("Current cross section: {}", event.xs);
writer.write(&event)?
}
writer.finish()?;
```
