== Derived Classes

[cols="1,4"]
|===
| Name| Description
| xref:BloombergLP/bsls/NameOf.adoc[`NameOf`] 
| This `class` provides a means to display the type name of its template parameter `TYPE`. An instance of this `class` can be implicitly (or explicitly via the `name` accessor) cast to a `const char *` which will point to a buffer containing the description of the type. Note that all instances of a given type will refer to the same character buffer containing the name.
