CLASS DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     iflDictionary is used to create a dictionary of named elements. It	is
     derived from iflHashTable,	and supplies appropriate hash function and key
     matching methods for name strings.	 The elements of the dictionary	must
     be, or be derived from, iflName.

CLASS MEMBER FUNCTION SUMMARY    [Toc]    [Back]

     Constructor

	  iflDictionary(int size=0, int	caseSensitive=TRUE)

     Insert/find dictionary entries

	  int insert(iflName* elem)
	  iflName* find(const char* s, int insertIfNeeded=FALSE)

FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

     iflDictionary()

	  iflDictionary(int size=0, int	caseSensitive=TRUE)


	  Creates an iflDictionary with	initial	capacity, size.	 The default
	  value	of zero	creates	a table	with 131 slots.	 The name lookup can
	  either be case-sensitive or case-insensitive,	depending on whether
	  caseSensitive	it TRUE	or FALSE, respectively.

     find()

	  iflName* find(const char* s, int insertIfNeeded=FALSE)


	  Tries	to locate the element with name	string s in the	dictionary. If
	  unsuccessful and if insertIfNeeded is	TRUE then an element of	type
	  iflName, with	name string s, is inserted into	the dictionary,	a
	  value	of NULL	is returned otherwise.

     insert()

	  int insert(iflName* elem)
