Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:Attributes [NONE]
- All Implemented Interfaces: Cloneable, Map<Object,Object>
      public class Attributes
      extends Object
      implements Map<Object,Object>, Cloneable
The Attributes class maps Manifest attribute names to associated string values. Valid attribute names are case-insensitive, are restricted to the ASCII characters in the set [0-9a-zA-Z_-], and cannot exceed 70 characters in length. Attribute values can contain any characters and will be UTF8-encoded when written to the output stream. See the JAR File Specification for more information about valid attribute names and values. Since: 1.2 See Also: `Manifest`

### method:equals(java.lang.Object) [NONE]
- #### equals
      public boolean equals(Object o)
Compares the specified Attributes object with this Map for equality. Returns true if the given object is also an instance of Attributes and the two Attributes objects represent the same mappings. Specified by: `equals` in interface `Map<Object,Object>` Overrides: `equals` in class `Object` Parameters: `o` - the Object to be compared Returns: true if the specified Object is equal to this Map See Also: `Object.hashCode()`, `HashMap`
