YAHOO.util.Subscriber `( fn , obj , override )`

Parameters:
  `fn <Function>` The function to execute
  `obj <Object>` An object to be passed along when the event fires
  `override <boolean>` If true, the obj passed in becomes the execution scope of the listener

### Properties

#### fn `- function`

The callback that will be execute when the event fires

#### obj `- object`

An optional custom object that will passed to the callback when the event fires

#### override `- boolean|object`

Returns true if the fn and obj match this objects properties. Used by the unsubscribe method to match the right subscriber.

Returns: `boolean`
  true if the supplied arguments match this subscriber's signature.

#### getScope

`void getScope ( defaultScope )`
Returns the execution scope for this listener. If override was set to true the custom obj will be the scope. If override is an object, that is the scope, otherwise the default scope will be used.

Parameters:
  `defaultScope <Object>` the scope to use if this listener does not override it.

Returns: `void`

`void toString ( )`
