interface nsIArray : nsISupports

/**
 * nsIArray
 *
 * An indexed collection of elements. Provides basic functionality for
 * retrieving elements at a specific position, searching for
 * elements. Indexes are zero-based, such that the last element in the
 * array is stored at the index length-1.
 *
 * For an array which can be modified, see nsIMutableArray below.
 *
 * Neither interface makes any attempt to protect the individual
 * elements from modification. The convention is that the elements of
 * the array should not be modified. Documentation within a specific
 * interface should describe variations from this convention.
 *
 * It is also convention that if an interface provides access to an
 * nsIArray, that the array should not be QueryInterfaced to an
 * nsIMutableArray for modification. If the interface in question had
 * intended the array to be modified, it would have returned an
 * nsIMutableArray!
 *
 * null is a valid entry in the array, and as such any nsISupports
 * parameters may be null, except where noted.

Trait Implementations

impl XpCom for nsIArray
[src]

IID: nsIID = nsID(289883353, 50025, 17774, [181, 90, 82, 254, 82, 136, 13, 45])

[src]

Perform a QueryInterface call on this object, attempting to dynamically cast it to the requested interface type. Returns Some(RefPtr) if the cast succeeded, and None otherwise. Read more

impl RefCounted for nsIArray
[src]

[src]

Increment the reference count.

[src]

Decrement the reference count, potentially freeing backing memory.

impl Deref for nsIArray
[src]

The resulting type after dereferencing.

[src]

Dereferences the value.
