protected Location|null $endLocation = null

$fileDescriptor

protected FileInterface|null $fileDescriptor = null

The file to which this element belongs; if applicable

$final

protected bool $final = false

Whether this class is marked as final and can't be subclassed.

$fqsen

protected Fqsen|null $fqsen = null

Fully Qualified Structural Element Name; the FQCN including method, property or constant name

$inheritedElement

protected ElementInterface|string|Fqsen|null $inheritedElement = null

the element from which to inherit information in this element

$line

protected int $line = 0

The line number on which this element occurs.

$startLocation

protected Location|null $startLocation = null

$summary

protected string $summary = ''

A summary describing the function of this element in short.

$type

protected Type|null $type = null

Methods

__call()

Dynamically constructs a set of getters to retrieve tag (collections) with.

public __call(string $name, array<string|int, mixed> $arguments) : Collection<string|int, TagDescriptor>|null

Important: __call() is not a fast method of access; it is preferred to directly use the getTags() collection. This interface is provided to allow for uniform and easy access to certain tags.
