 * @ingroup EVENTHDLR
 * @brief  event handler for writing primal and dual bound for all open nodes
 * @author Michael Winkler
 *
 *
 *  This event handler writes to a specified file at a given frequency the dual bounds of all open nodes and the current
 *  primal bound.
 *
 *  setting "set misc boundwriting freq 1000" will lead to write every 1000 nodes the primal bound and the dual bound
 *  front of all open nodes
 *
 *  setting "set misc boundwriting filename bounds.txt" will write the bounds to the files
 *  ascending from bounds1.txt over bounds2.txt to boundsN.txt were N is the last number for writing bounds (no
 *  filename means to write to standard out)
 *
 *  setting "set misc writesubmipdualbound TRUE" will lead to resolve each open node in a subSCIP until the root in the
 *  subSCIP is solved and as a result will print this resulting dual bound
 *
 *  An output could look as follows (here writesubmipdualbound is set to TRUE):
 *
 *  PB 201
 *
 *  5913 34 192.1 193.5
 *
 *  2884 26 162.1 162.1
 *
 *  The first line above shows the Primalbound. All following lines will show first the node number, second the depth of
 *  this open node, third the dual bound of the open node, and last the dual bound of the root node in a subSCIP of the
 *  resolved node.
 *
 *  @note you can write all bounds to a single file by adding the line
 *  \code
 *  #define ONEFILE
 *  \endcode
 *  and recompiling this example.
 *
 *  @note If you want to get a better human readable format for printing, define
 *  \code
 *  #define LONGSTATS
 *  \endcode
 *  and recompile this example.
