<p>AbstractFactory that produces <a class="el" href="classsmbios_1_1ISmbiosTable.html" title="Interface definition for Smbios Table operations.">ISmbiosTable</a> objects. </p>
<p>The <a class="el" href="classsmbios_1_1SmbiosFactory.html" title="AbstractFactory that produces ISmbiosTable objects.">SmbiosFactory</a> class is based on the Factory design pattern. The <a class="el" href="classsmbios_1_1SmbiosFactory.html" title="AbstractFactory that produces ISmbiosTable objects.">SmbiosFactory</a> is the recommended method to create <a class="el" href="classsmbios_1_1ISmbiosTable.html" title="Interface definition for Smbios Table operations.">ISmbiosTable</a> objects.</p>
<p>The <a class="el" href="classsmbios_1_1SmbiosFactory.html#ac5421106d2b8d21793e8b8191803de8e" title="Recommended way to get an ISmbiosTable object.">getSingleton()</a> is the recommended method to call to create tables. You need not delete the pointer returned by this method, it will be delete by the factory when it is <a class="el" href="classfactory_1_1IFactory.html#af41d62153ab041788b9e341c6bdc89fb">reset()</a> or destructed.</p>
<p>Most users of the factory need call nothing more than <a class="el" href="classsmbios_1_1SmbiosFactory.html#acd0d5087eb627564844fb555a2e4ae91" title="Create a factory object that you can use to create ISmbiosTable objects.">getFactory()</a> and then <a class="el" href="classsmbios_1_1SmbiosFactory.html#ac5421106d2b8d21793e8b8191803de8e" title="Recommended way to get an ISmbiosTable object.">getSingleton()</a> on the returned factory object.</p>
<p>Advanced users can call <a class="el" href="classfactory_1_1IFactory.html#a7dd6d02af358ba1742166ef2d5192e28">setParameter()</a> to set up internal factory variables that control creation of tables. </p>
