.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Bio::DB::GFF::Featname is the name of a feature.  It contains two
fields: name and class.  It is typically used by the Bio::DB::GFF
module to denote a group, and is accepted by
Bio::DB::Relsegment\->\fInew()\fR and Bio::DB::GFF\->\fIsegment()\fR as a
replacement for the \-name and \-class arguments.

.Vb 6
\& Title   : new
\& Usage   : $name = Bio::DB::GFF::Featname\->new($class,$name)
\& Function: create a new Bio::DB::GFF::Featname object
\& Returns : a new Bio::DB::GFF::Featname object
\& Args    : class and ID
\& Status  : Public
.Ve
.SS "id"
.IX Subsection "id"
.Vb 6
\& Title   : id
\& Usage   : $id = $name\->id
\& Function: return a unique ID for the combination of class and name
\& Returns : a string
\& Args    : none
\& Status  : Public
.Ve
.PP
This method returns a unique combination of the name and class in the
form \*(L"class:name\*(R".  Coincidentally, this is the same format used
by AceDB.
.SS "name"
.IX Subsection "name"
.Vb 6
\& Title   : name
\& Usage   : $name = $name\->name
\& Function: return the name of the Featname
\& Returns : a string
\& Args    : none
\& Status  : Public
.Ve
.SS "class"
.IX Subsection "class"
.Vb 6
\& Title   : class
\& Usage   : $class = $name\->class
\& Function: return the name of the Featname
\& Returns : a string
\& Args    : none
\& Status  : Public
.Ve
.SS "asString"
.IX Subsection "asString"
.Vb 6
\& Title   : asString
\& Usage   : $string = $name\->asString
\& Function: same as name()
\& Returns : a string
\& Args    : none
\& Status  : Public
.Ve
.PP
This method is used to overload the "" operator.  It is equivalent to
calling \fIname()\fR.
.SS "clone"
.IX Subsection "clone"
.Vb 6
\& Title   : clone
\& Usage   : $new_clone = $type\->clone;
\& Function: clone this object
\& Returns : a new Bio::DB::GFF::Featname object
\& Args    : none
\& Status  : Public
.Ve
.PP
This method creates an exact copy of the object.
