=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.

  my $self = shift;
  return join ':',@$self;
}

=head2 name

 Title   : name
 Usage   : $name = $name->name

 Function: same as name()
 Returns : a string
 Args    : none
 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
