 These are the files that are shipped with the default installation and suitable to keep truth MC information. A more complicated data layouts are given in examples/proto directory (to keep jets, leptons, jets with constituents etc.).

+abstract = "Abstract A new data format for Monte Carlo (MC) events, or any structural data, including experimental data, is discussed. The format is designed to store data in a compact binary form using variable-size integer encoding as implemented in the Google’s Protocol Buffers package. This approach is implemented in the ProMC library which produces smaller file sizes for \{MC\} records compared to the existing input–output libraries used in high-energy physics (HEP). Other important features of the proposed format are a separation of abstract data layouts from concrete programming implementations, self-description and random access. Data stored in ProMC files can be written, read and manipulated in a number of programming languages, such C++, JAVA, \{FORTRAN\} and PYTHON. "
