\title{Old functions to access slots in a class definition }
\description{
Expect these functions to become deprecated in the near future.

 They do nothing but access a slot in a class definition, and don't
 even do this consistently  with the right name (they date back to the
 early implementation of the \pkg{methods} package).
 Higher-level functions for the useful operations (e.g.,
 \code{\link{extends}} for \code{getExtends}) should be used instead.

}
\usage{
getAccess(ClassDef) 

getClassName(ClassDef) 

getClassPackage(ClassDef) 

getExtends(ClassDef) 

getProperties(ClassDef) 

getPrototype(ClassDef) 

getSubclasses(ClassDef) 

getValidity(ClassDef) 

getVirtual(ClassDef) 

}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{ClassDef}{ the class definition object }
}
\details{
  The functions should be replaced by direct access to the slots, or
  by use of higher-level alternatives.

The functions and corresponding slots are: 
\tabular{ll}{
\code{getAccess} \tab \code{"access"} \cr
\code{getClassName} \tab \code{"className"} \cr
\code{getClassPackage} \tab \code{"package"} \cr
\code{getExtends} \tab \code{"contains"} \cr
\code{getProperties} \tab \code{"slots"} \cr
\code{getPrototype} \tab \code{"prototype"} \cr
\code{getSubclasses} \tab \code{"subclasses"} \cr
\code{getValidity} \tab \code{"validity"} \cr
\code{getVirtual} \tab \code{"virtual"}
}
