Member Function Documentation

const InterfaceID & IAlgTool::interfaceID ( ) [inline, static]

Retrieve interface ID. Reimplemented from IInterface. Definition at line 28 of file IAlgTool.h.

const std::string & IAlgTool::name ( ) const [pure virtual]

The identifying full name of an AlgTool object. It is composed by the concatenation of the parent name, a dot, and a tool dependent part. The tool dependent part can be specified by the user, if it isn't it is automatically set to the type. Reimplemented in AlgTool.

const IInterface * IAlgTool::parent ( ) const [pure virtual]

The parent of the concrete AlgTool. It can be an Algorithm or a Service. A common AlgTool has the ToolSvc as parent. Reimplemented in AlgTool.

const std::string & IAlgTool::type ( ) const [pure virtual]

The type of an AlgTool, meaning the concrete AlgTool class. Reimplemented in AlgTool.
