deferred class WorkLibrary  from IFSelect  inherits Transient

    ---Purpose : This class defines the (empty) frame which can be used to
    --           enrich a XSTEP set with new capabilities
    --           In particular, a specific WorkLibrary must give the way for
    --           Reading a File into a Model, and Writing a Model to a File
    --           Thus, it is possible to define several Work Libraries for each
    --           norm, but recommanded to define one general class for each one :
    --           this general class will define the Read and Write methods.
    --           
    --           Also a Dump service is provided, it can produce, according the
    --           norm, either a parcel of a file for an entity, or any other
    --           kind of informations relevant for the norm,

uses CString, 
     Messenger from Message,
     HArray1OfHAsciiString from Interface,
     CheckIterator, InterfaceModel, Protocol from Interface,
     EntityIterator, CopyTool,
     AppliedModifiers, ContextWrite

is

    Initialize;
    ---Purpose : Required to initialise fields

    ReadFile (me; name : CString;
    	      model    : out mutable InterfaceModel;
    	      protocol : Protocol from Interface)
	      returns Integer  is deferred;
    ---Purpose : Gives the way to Read a File and transfer it to a Model
    --           <mod> is the resulting Model, which has to be created by this
    --           method. In case of error, <mod> must be returned Null
    --           Return value is a status with free values.
    --           Simply, 0 is for "Execution OK"
    --           The Protocol can be used to work (e.g. create the Model, read
    --           and recognize the Entities)

    WriteFile (me; ctx : in out ContextWrite)
    	    returns Boolean  is deferred;
    ---Purpose : Gives the way to Write a File from a Model.
    --           <ctx> contains all necessary informations : the model, the
    --           protocol, the file name, and the list of File Modifiers to be
    --           applied, also with restricted list of selected entities for
    --           each one, if required.
    --           In return, it brings the produced check-list
    --           
    --           The WorkLibrary has to query <applied> to get then run the
    --           ContextWrite by looping like this (example) :
    --             for (numap = 1; numap <= ctx.NbModifiers(); numap ++) {
    --               ctx.SetModifier (numap);
    --               cast ctx.FileModifier()  to specific type -> variable filemod
    --               if (!filemod.IsNull()) filemod->Perform (ctx,writer);
    --                 filemod then works with ctx. It can, either act on the
    --                 model itself (for instance on its header), or iterate
    --                 on selected entities (Start/Next/More/Value)
    --                 it can call AddFail or AddWarning, as necessary
    --             }

    CopyModel (me;
    	       original : InterfaceModel;
	       newmodel : mutable InterfaceModel;
	       list     : EntityIterator;
	       TC       : in out CopyTool)
	returns Boolean  is virtual;
    ---Purpose : Performs the copy of entities from an original model to a new
    --           one. It must also copy headers if any. Returns True when done.
    --           The provided default works by copying the individual entities
    --           designated in the list, by using the general service class
    --           CopyTool.
    --           It can be redefined for a norm which, either implements Copy
    --           by another way (do not forget to Bind each copied result with
    --           its original entity in TC) and returns True, or does not know
    --           how to copy and returns False


    DumpEntity (me;
    	       model    : InterfaceModel;
    	       protocol : Protocol from Interface;
	       entity   : Transient;
	       S        : Messenger from Message;
	       level    : Integer)
	is deferred;
    ---Purpose : Gives the way of dumping an entity under a form comprehensive
    --           for each norm. <model> helps to identify, number ... entities.
    --           <level> is to be interpreted for each norm (because of the
    --           formats which can be very different)

    DumpEntity (me;
    	       model    : InterfaceModel;
    	       protocol : Protocol from Interface;
	       entity   : Transient;
	       S        : Messenger from Message);
    ---Purpose : Calls deferred DumpEntity with the recorded default level

    SetDumpLevels (me : mutable; def, max : Integer);
    ---Purpose : Records a default level and a maximum value for level
    --           level for DumpEntity can go between 0 and <max>
    --           default value will be <def>

    DumpLevels (me; def, max : out Integer);
    ---Purpose : Returns the recorded default and maximum dump levels
    --           If none was recorded, max is returned negative, def as zero

    SetDumpHelp (me : mutable; level : Integer; help : CString);
    ---Purpose : Records a short line of help for a level (0 - max)

    DumpHelp (me; level : Integer) returns CString;
    ---Purpose : Returns the help line recorded for <level>, or an empty string

fields
