/**
* @brief Serialization management for binary data, intended for use in CacheHandlers.
*
* This class manages the assignment of unique IDs for CacheHandlers to use to identify their files.
* Data is (de)serialized via read and write calls and existance (if so, the file-/datasize too) can be checked via check.
* All files are created in a directory given by createTemporaryDirectory which has to be called before and read/writes to function properly. All files are named 'ddddd.tco' starting from zero.
