## Detailed Description

Base class for channels. This channel doesn't delay or change messages. One can attach parameters (e.g. "cost").

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

cChannel::cChannel ( | const cChannel & ch )

| Copy constructor.

cChannel::cChannel ( | const char * name = NULL,
| cLinkType * l = NULL )`[explicit]`

| Constructor.

cChannel::~cChannel ( | )`[virtual]`

| Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

cPar & cChannel::addPar ( | cPar * p )`[inline, virtual]`

| Add a parameter to the channel's parameter list. Reimplemented in cSimpleChannel.

cPar & cChannel::addPar ( | const char * s )`[inline, virtual]`

| Add a parameter to the channel's parameter list. Reimplemented in cSimpleChannel.

void cChannel::deliver ( | cMessage * msg,
| simtime_t at )`[virtual]`

| This function is called internally by the simulation kernel for transmission modelling. Reimplemented in cSimpleChannel.

cObject * cChannel::dup ( | ) const`[inline, virtual]`

| Creates and returns an exact copy of this object. See cObject for more details. Reimplemented from cObject. Reimplemented in cSimpleChannel.

int cChannel::findPar ( | const char * s ) const`[virtual]`

| Returns the index of the parameter with the given name in the channel's parameter list, or -1 if it could not be found.

void cChannel::forEach ( | ForeachFunc do_fn )`[virtual]`

| Call the passed function for each contained object. See cObject for more details. Reimplemented from cObject. Reimplemented in cSimpleChannel.

cGate * cChannel::fromGate ( | ) const`[inline]`

| Returns the gate this channel is attached to.

bool cChannel::hasPar ( | const char * s ) const`[inline, virtual]`

| Check if a parameter exists.

void cChannel::info ( | char * buf )`[virtual]`

| Produces a one-line description of object contents into the buffer passed as argument. See cObject for more details. Reimplemented from cObject. Reimplemented in cSimpleChannel.

cLinkType * cChannel::link ( | ) const`[inline]`

| Returns the link type of the gate, if it has one.

int cChannel::netPack ( | )`[virtual]`

| Serializes the object into a PVM or MPI send buffer Used by the simulation kernel for parallel execution. See cObject for more details. Reimplemented from cObject. Reimplemented in cSimpleChannel.

int cChannel::netUnpack ( | )`[virtual]`

| Deserializes the object from a PVM or MPI receive buffer Used by the simulation kernel for parallel execution. See cObject for more details. Reimplemented from cObject. Reimplemented in cSimpleChannel.

cChannel & cChannel::operator= ( | const cChannel & msg )

| Assignment operator. Duplication and the assignment operator work all right with cChannel. The name member doesn't get copied; see cObject's operator=() for more details.

cPar & cChannel::par ( | const char * s )`[virtual]`

| Returns the object with the given name in the channel's parameter list, converting it to a cPar.

cPar & cChannel::par ( | int n )`[virtual]`

| Returns the nth object in the channel's parameter list, converting it to a cPar.

cArray & cChannel::parList ( | )`[virtual]`

| Returns the cArray member of the message which holds the parameters and other attached objects. Parameters can be inserted, retrieved, looked up or deleted through cArray's member functions.

void cChannel::writeContents ( | ostream & os )`[virtual]`

| Writes textual information about this object to the stream. See cObject for more details. Reimplemented from cObject. Reimplemented in cSimpleChannel.
