\brief A class that simplifies the archiving of complicated BArchivable
|
|
hierarchies.
|
|
|
|
The BArchiver class is a small class that is used for archiving of
|
|
complicated BArchivable hierarchies. Such a hierarchy may include
|
|
multiple BArchivable objects, each of which might be referenced by
|
|
many BArchivable objects. With the BArchiver class, you can be certain
|
|
that each BArchivable object is archived only once with very little work.
|
|
When used in conjuction with the BArchivable::AllArchived() and
|
|
BArchivable::AllUnarchived() methods, it is simple to rebuild your system of
|
|
references upon unarchival so that they are equivalent to those that were
|
|
present in your original hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
The objects you archive can be retrieved using a BUnarchiver object.
