It takes the -name of the object or class to be copied, \fIsourceObject\fR, and optionally -the name of the object or class to create, \fItargetObject\fR, which will be -resolved relative to the current namespace if not an absolute qualified name. -If \fItargetObject\fR is omitted, a new name is chosen. The copied object will -be of the same class as the source object, and will have all its per-object -methods copied. If it is a class, it will also have all the class methods in -the class copied, but it will not have any of its instances copied. The -contents of the source object's private namespace \fIwill not\fR be copied; it -is up to the caller to do this. The result of this command will be the -fully-qualified name of the new object or class. -.SH EXAMPLES -.PP -This example creates an object, copies it, modifies the source object, and -then demonstrates that the copied object is indeed a copy. -.PP -.CS -oo::object create src -oo::objdefine src method msg {} {puts foo} -\fBoo::copy\fR src dst -oo::objdefine src method msg {} {puts bar} -src msg \fI\(-> prints "bar"\fR -dst msg \fI\(-> prints "foo"\fR -.CE -.SH "SEE ALSO" -oo::class(n), oo::define(n), oo::object(n) -.SH KEYWORDS -clone, copy, duplication, object -.\" Local variables: -.\" mode: nroff -.\" fill-column: 78 -.\" End: |
