This chapter describes all of the Rexx built-in classes.

Fundamental Classes

These classes are the fundamental building blocks for all other classes.

Object and Class class,
String Class,
Method, Routine, and Package class, and
Message class.

Stream Classes

This set of classes implements Rexx data streams. They consist of InputStream, OutputStream, InputOutputStream, and Stream class.

Collection Classes

This set of classes implements object collections. It includes

Ordered collections Array, List, Queue, and CircularQueue class,
Map collections Directory, StringTable, Stem, Table, IdentityTable, Relation, and Properties class, and
Map/Set collections Bag and Set class.

Utility Classes

This set of classes consists of

MutableBuffer Class,
File Class,
Date-, time-, and timing-related classes DateTime, TimeSpan, Alarm, Ticker, and the notification classes AlarmNotification and MessageNotification,
the synchronization classes EventSempahore and MutexSempahore,
Comparable class and Orderable class,
eight Comparator classes used for sorting (Caseless)Comparator, (Caseless)ColumnComparator, (Caseless)DescendingComparator, InvertingComparator, and NumericComparator, and
other miscellaneous classes Buffer, Monitor, Pointer, RegularExpression, RexxContext, RexxInfo, RexxQueue, StackFrame, StreamSupplier, Supplier, TraceObject, Validate, VariableReference, and WeakReference.
