      • clone

        public DataType clone​(DataTypeManager dtm)
        Description copied from interface: DataType
        Returns an instance of this DataType with its universalID and SourceArchive identity retained.

        The current instanceof will be returned if this datatype's DataTypeManager matches the specified dtm. The recursion depth of a clone will stop on any datatype whose DataTypeManager matches the specified dtm and simply use the existing datatype instance.

        Parameters:
        dtm - the data-type manager instance whose data-organization should apply.
        Returns:
        cloned instance which may be the same as this instance
