serialize

Overridden by subclasses to archive the receiver into the provided OSSerialize object.

Declaration

virtual bool serialize(
 OSSerialize *serializer) const;

Parameters

  • serializer:

    The OSSerialize object.

Return Value

true if serialization succeeds, false if not.

Overview

OSObject's implementation writes a string indicating that the class of the object receiving the function call is not serializable. Subclasses that can meaningfully encode themselves in I/O Kit-style property list XML can override this function to do so. See OSSerialize for more information.
