inputnode(lymb) LYMB inputnode(lymb)

NAME

inputnode

SUPERCLASS

object

DESCRIPTION

The inputnode implements a single state in a finite state machine (fsm) and accepts events pertinent to that state. Inputnode objects are created behind-the-scenes by inputcontroller objects. They are rarely manipulated from LYMB scripts.

INSTANCE VARIABLES

controller is the name of an inputcontroller object that controls the fsm.

state_name is a string that names the state the inputnode object implements.

MESSAGES

print_state_table! prints the state table associated with the inputnode object.

event: event is an internal message that can only be sent by an inputcontroller object. The argument is an event pointer (not an event name).

transition: (event, next, action) defines a state transition for the inputnode. An event name, the next state, and a transition action are given as arguments.

controller= string names the inputcontroller object for the inputnode.

state_name= string names the inputnode's state.

EXAMPLE

See the inputcontroller and xeventcontroller source code.
