class GeneralModule  from IGESBasic     inherits  GeneralModule  from IGESData

    ---Purpose : Definition of General Services for IGESBasic (specific part)
    --           This Services comprise : Shared & Implied Lists, Copy, Check

uses OStream,
     Check, ShareTool, EntityIterator, CopyTool,
     IGESEntity, DirChecker

is

    Create returns mutable GeneralModule from IGESBasic;
    ---Purpose : Creates a GeneralModule from IGESBasic and puts it into GeneralLib

    OwnSharedCase  (me; CN : Integer; ent : IGESEntity;
    	    	    iter : in out EntityIterator);
    ---Purpose : Lists the Entities shared by a given IGESEntity <ent>, from
    --           its specific parameters : specific for each type

    DirChecker (me; CN : Integer; ent : IGESEntity) returns DirChecker;
    ---Purpose : Returns a DirChecker, specific for each type of Entity
    --           (identified by its Case Number) : this DirChecker defines
    --           constraints which must be respected by the DirectoryPart

    OwnCheckCase (me; CN : Integer; ent : IGESEntity; shares : ShareTool;
    	          ach    : in out Check);
    ---Purpose : Performs Specific Semantic Check for each type of Entity


    NewVoid (me; CN : Integer; entto : out mutable Transient)
    	returns Boolean;
    ---Purpose : Specific creation of a new void entity

    OwnCopyCase (me; CN : Integer;
    	         entfrom : IGESEntity; entto : mutable IGESEntity;
    	         TC : in out CopyTool);
    ---Purpose : Copies parameters which are specific of each Type of Entity

    CategoryNumber (me; CN : Integer; ent : Transient; shares : ShareTool)
    	returns Integer  is redefined;
    ---Purpose : Returns a category number which characterizes an entity
    --           Structure for Groups, Figures & Co
    --           Description for External Refs
    --           Auxiliary for other
