Detailed Description

Class information items are simple namevalue pairs that are specified using Q_CLASSINFO() in the source code. The information can be retrieved using name() and value(). For example:

 class MyClass
 {
     Q_OBJECT
     Q_CLASSINFO("author", "Sabrina Schweinsteiger")
     Q_CLASSINFO("url", "http://doc.moosesoft.co.uk/1.0/")

 public:
     ...
 };

This mechanism is free for you to use in your Qt applications.

Note: It's also used by the Active Qt, Qt D-Bus, Qt Qml, and Qt Remote Objects modules. Some keys might be set when using these modules.
