public class ActiveOutFileImpl

extends BaseImpl

implements MessageProbe, MessageProbeS, ActiveOutFileS, ActiveOutFile

An object that actively updates its file stream when updated.. This is the file I/O equivalent of ActiveGraph: it takes an OutFile object, a target (datafeed) object, and a selector, which it uses to extract data from the object and send it to the file.

Constructor Summary

ActiveOutFileImpl()

ActiveOutFileImpl(Zone aZone)
The create: message creates a new instance of a type with default options.

ActiveOutFileImpl(Zone aZone, Selector aSel)
Convenience factory method for common case.

ActiveOutFileImpl

public ActiveOutFileImpl(Zone aZone)

The create: message creates a new instance of a type with default options. The zone argument specifies the source of storage for the new object. The receiving object of this message is a previously defined type object. The message is declared as a class message (with a + declaration tag) to indicate that the message is accepted only by the type object itself rather than an already created instance of the type (which a - declaration tag otherwise defines). The create: message returns the new object just created. This object is an instance of some class selected to implement the type. The class which a type selects to implement an object may be obtained by the getClass message, but is not otherwise visible to the calling program. A caller never refers to any class name when creating objects using these messages, only to type names, which are automatically published as global constants from any @protocol declaration.
