## Class Port.Info

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.sound.sampled.Line.Info
  - - javax.sound.sampled.Port.Info

- Enclosing interface:
    Port

      public static class Port.Info
      extends Line.Info

  The `Port.Info` class extends ``Line.Info`` with additional information specific to ports, including the port's name and whether it is a source or a target for its mixer. By definition, a port acts as either a source or a target to its mixer, but not both. (Audio input ports are sources; audio output ports are targets.)

  To learn what ports are available, you can retrieve port info objects through the ``getSourceLineInfo`` and ``getTargetLineInfo`` methods of the `Mixer` interface. Instances of the `Port.Info` class may also be constructed and used to obtain lines matching the parameters specified in the `Port.Info` object.

  Since:
    1.3

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Info

          public Info(Class<?> lineClass,
                      String name,
                      boolean isSource)

      Constructs a port's info object from the information given. This constructor is typically used by an implementation of Java Sound to describe a supported line.
      Parameters:
        `lineClass` - the class of the port described by the info object.
        `name` - the string that names the port
        `isSource` - `true` if the port is a source port (such as a microphone), `false` if the port is a target port (such as a speaker).

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getName

          public String getName()

      Obtains the name of the port.
      Returns:
        the string that names the port

    - #### isSource

          public boolean isSource()

      Indicates whether the port is a source or a target for its mixer.
      Returns:
        `true` if the port is a source port (such as a microphone), `false` if the port is a target port (such as a speaker).

    - #### matches

          public boolean matches(Line.Info info)

      Indicates whether this info object specified matches this one. To match, the match requirements of the superclass must be met and the types must be equal.
      Overrides:
        `matches` in class `Line.Info`
      Parameters:
        `info` - the info object for which the match is queried
      Returns:
        `true` if the specified object matches this one, `false` otherwise

    - #### equals

          public final boolean equals(Object obj)

      Finalizes the equals method
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the reference object with which to compare.
      Returns:
        `true` if this object is the same as the obj argument; `false` otherwise.
      See Also:
        `Object.hashCode()`, `HashMap`

    - #### hashCode

          public final int hashCode()

      Finalizes the hashCode method
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        a hash code value for this object.
      See Also:
        `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`, `System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)`

    - #### toString

          public final String toString()

      Provides a `String` representation of the port.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Line.Info`
      Returns:
        a string that describes the port
