◆ dump()

virtual void BESCatalog::dump ( ostream &  strm) const
pure virtual

dump the contents of this object to the specified ostream

This method is implemented by all derived classes to dump their contents, in other words, any state they might have, private variables, etc...

The inline function below can be used to dump the contents of an OPeNDAOObj object. For example, the object Animal is derived from BESObj. A user could do the following:

Animal *a = new dog( "Sparky" ) ; cout << a << endl ;

And the dump method for dog could display the name passed into the constructor, the (this) pointer of the object, etc...

Parameters
strmC++ i/o stream to dump the object to

Implements BESObj.

Implemented in BESCatalogDirectory.
