Detailed Description

Base class for handling input/output of groups.

Library: ilvproto

Group files should not be created directly by the application: they are created internally by the load and save methods of the group, or by the prototype-specific subclasses of IlvManager when saving ilv files. You will never need to use this class directly, unless you write new subclasses of IlvGroupNode.
