objspec

Syntax objspec (value)

Params value is a value which you wish to convert to an objspec

Action If value is a binary value, or the number zero, converts it to an objspec value. If value is already an objspec value, no conversion is done.

Returns The resulting objspec value

Examples objspec (binaryVal)

   » true

Errors If value is any type other than objspec or binary, and is not the number zero, an error message results.

Platform Notes This verb is only implemented in the Mac OS version of Frontier.

Notes This is an advanced Frontier verb of primary interest to implementers and advanced scripters. It is not necessary to understand it to use Frontier effectively for most tasks.

To create a new objspec value, use setObj.

Future versions of Frontier may support coercion from types other than binary, in particular from a string representation of an object specifier.
