Function Documentation

ostream& operator<<	(	ostream &	strm,
		const BESObj &	obj
	)			[inline]

dump the contents of the specified object to the specified ostream

This inline method uses the dump method of the BESObj instance passed to it. This allows a user to dump the contents of an object instead of just getting the pointer value of the object.

For example, the object Animal is derived from BESObj. A user could do the following:

Animal *a = new dog( "Sparky" ) ; cout << a << endl ;

And the dump method for dog could display the name passed into the constructor, the (this) pointer of the object, etc...

Parameters:

	strm	C++ i/o stream to dump the object to
	obj	The BESObj to dump
