NAME
     Exacct::Object::Item - exacct item manipulation

SYNOPSIS
     use Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object;
     my $ea_item = Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Item->new(
         &EXT_UINT64 | &EXC_DEFAULT | &EXD_PROC_PID, $$);


DESCRIPTION
     This module is used for  manipulating  libexacct(3LIB)  data
     Items.  A  libexacct Item is represented as an opaque refer-
     ence  blessed  into  the  Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Item
     class,      which      is      a     subclass     of     the
     Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object class. The underlying libexacct
     data types are mapped onto Perl types as follows:



           libexacct type                   Perl internal type
     EXT_UINT8                     IV (integer)
     EXT_UINT16                    IV (integer)
     EXT_UINT32                    IV (integer)
     EXT_UINT64                    IV (integer)
     EXT_DOUBLE                    NV (double)
     EXT_STRING                    PV (string)
     EXT_RAW                       PV (string)
     EXT_EXACCT_OBJECT             Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object subclass


  Constants
     None.

  Functions
     None.

  Class methods
     Class   methods   include   those   inherited    from    the
     Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object base class, plus the following:

     new($catalog, $value)    This method creates and  returns  a
                              new
                              Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Item.
                              The  catalog  tag  can be either an
                              integer            or             a
                              Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Catalog. This
                              catalog tag controls the conversion
                              of    the   Perl   value   to   the
                              corresponding Perl exacct data type
                              as described in the table above. If
                              the catalog tag has a type field of
                              EXT_EXACCT_OBJECT,  the  value must

                              be a reference to either an Item or
                              a   Group  object  and  the  passed
                              object is  recursively  copied  and
                              stored inside the new Item. Because
                              the returned Item is  constant,  it
                              is   impossible,  for  example,  to
                              create  an  Item  representing  CPU
                              seconds and subsequently modify its
                              value or change its catalog  value.
                              This   behavior   is   intended  to
                              prevent  mismatches   between   the
                              catalog tag and the data value.


  Object methods
     Object   methods    are    those    inherited    from    the
     Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object.

  Exports
     None.
