Class Unknown

java.lang.Object
org.apache.bcel.classfile.Attribute
org.apache.bcel.classfile.Unknown
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Node

public final class Unknown extends Attribute
This class represents a reference to an unknown (i.e., application-specific) attribute of a class. It is instantiated from the Attribute.readAttribute(java.io.DataInput, ConstantPool) method. Applications that need to read in application-specific attributes should create an UnknownAttributeReader implementation and attach it via Attribute.addAttributeReader(String, UnknownAttributeReader).
