=head1 NAME
Bio::DB::GFF::Featname -- The name of a feature
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Bio::DB::GFF;
my $db = Bio::DB::GFF->new( -adaptor => 'dbi:mysql',
-dsn => 'dbi:mysql:elegans42');
my $feature = Bio::DB::GFF::Featname->new(Locus => 'unc-19');
my $segment = $db->segment($feature);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Bio::DB::GFF::Featname is the name of a feature. It contains two
fields: name and class. It is typically used by the Bio::DB::GFF
module to denote a group, and is accepted by
Bio::DB::Relsegment-E<gt>new() and Bio::DB::GFF-E<gt>segment() as a
replacement for the -name and -class arguments.
=head1 METHODS
=cut
package Bio::DB::GFF::Featname;
$Bio::DB::GFF::Featname::VERSION = '1.7.4';
use strict;
use base qw(Bio::Root::RootI);
use overload
'""' => 'asString',
fallback => 1;
=head2 new
Title : new
Usage : $name = Bio::DB::GFF::Featname->new($class,$name)
Function: create a new Bio::DB::GFF::Featname object
Returns : a new Bio::DB::GFF::Featname object
Args : class and ID
Status : Public
=cut
sub new {
# use a blessed array for speed
my $pack = shift;
bless [@_],$pack; # class,name
}
sub _cleanup_methods { return; }
=head2 id
Title : id
Usage : $id = $name->id
Function: return a unique ID for the combination of class and name
Returns : a string
Args : none
Status : Public
This method returns a unique combination of the name and class in the
form "class:name". Coincidentally, this is the same format used
by AceDB.
=cut
sub id {
my $self = shift;
return join ':',@$self;
}
=head2 name
Title : name
Usage : $name = $name->name
Function: return the name of the Featname

=head2 class
Title : class
Usage : $class = $name->class
Function: return the name of the Featname

Status : Public
=cut
sub class { shift->[0] }
=head2 asString
Title : asString
Usage : $string = $name->asString
Function: same as name()

Status : Public
This method is used to overload the "" operator. It is equivalent to
calling name().
=cut
sub asString { shift->name }
=head2 clone
Title : clone
Usage : $new_clone = $type->clone;
Function: clone this object
Returns : a new Bio::DB::GFF::Featname object
Args : none
Status : Public
This method creates an exact copy of the object.
=cut

my $self = shift;
return bless [@$self],ref $self;
}
