Interface Bound<T>

Type Parameters:

T - linked field value type

public interface Bound<T>

Defines a method for checking a binding by value of a protocol. If a field in NPL has a "linked" modifier on it, then the auto generated protocol definition will also implement this Bound interface which will provide the checkBinding(T) method. The method allows checking if the value of any of the linked fields matches the supplied value.
