This PR fixes scikit-hep/uproot5#1252.
Touching (and truncating) a file on EOS (implemented here) needs the
File
interface in XRootD (as explained here).After this, other changes were needed, especially to allow for the
r+b
mode used in uproot when opening a file. To do this, some functions such asseek
,write
,read
where re-implemented instead of using the default ones inAbstractBufferedFile
.Note: I believe some of these changes do not follow the logic that was originally implemented, so indications in this sense are much appreciated.
