abstract interface classes</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<section><title>Description</title> <p>The three examples show the use of

‘M’ (abstract interface) classes, the only type of multiple inheritance used

on the Symbian platform. </p> <p>They show how interfaces can be used to define

a protocol. The interface is implemented by a protocol provider, and called

by a protocol user. The user is not supposed to know anything about the provider's

implementation, only about the protocol it's interested in. </p> </section>
