.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
Classes which need runtime information about themselves and their relationship to other classes can virtually inherit from \fBDescribedClass\fP\&. 

This will provide the class with the ability to query its name and its version\&. Furthermore, the class's static \fBClassDesc\fP can be obtained which permits several other operations\&. See \fBclass\fP for more information\&.

.PP
This returns the unique pointer to the \fBClassDesc\fP corresponding to the given type_info object\&. Null is returned if it fails\&.
