The IAPIOutputAdapter template interface provides a simple abstract method to output an API structure or enum on a GS::OChannel. (There’s a compulsory operator>> () overload which is usually a wrapper for the compulsory Output () method.)

The IAPIOutputAdapterBase interface provides Get/Set methods and data members for information necessary during the output:

• an IAPIOutputManager, to get the output channel from for contained types
• an IAPIOutputAdapterFactory to get output adapters for contained types
• the API_DatabaseInfo of the structure/enum
• an optional IAttributeProxy, to cache attributes of the structure
• the attribute output type (GSAPI::DoNotOutput by default)

The derived IAPIOutputAdapter template interface provides additional type-dependent Get/Set methods and data members for information necessary during the output:

• the structure/enum to output
• the API_ElementMemo for an API_Element structure

There’s a simple implementation in the DefaultImplementation folder, which basically does nothing (NullTypeOutputAdapter).
