[ Top ] ### method addRequiredByObjectClass [line 948]
`void addRequiredByObjectClass( string $object_class_name)`
Adds an objectClass name to this attribute's list of "required by" objectClasses, that is the list of objectClasses which must have this attribute. #### Parameters:

[ Top ] ### method addUsedInObjectClass [line 924]
`void addUsedInObjectClass( string $object_class_name)`
Adds an objectClass name to this attribute's list of "used in" objectClasses, that is the list of objectClasses which provide this attribute. #### Parameters:
string | $object_class_name | The name of the objectClass to add.
[ Top ] ### method getAliases [line 761]
`array getAliases( )`
Gets the names of attributes that are an alias for this attribute (if any). #### Tags:
return: | An array of names of attributes which alias this attribute or an empty array if no attribute aliases this object.
[ Top ] ### method getEquality [line 733]
`string getEquality( )`
Gets this attribute's equality string [ Top ] ### method getIsCollective [line 833]
`bool getIsCollective( )`
Gets whether this attribute is collective. #### Tags:
return: | Returns true if this attribute is collective and false otherwise.
