- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### ConstantModule

          public ConstantModule(ConstantModule c)

      Initialize from another object.
      Parameters:
        `c` - Source to copy.

    - #### ConstantModule

          public ConstantModule(int nameIndex)

      Parameters:
        `nameIndex` - Name index in constant pool. Should refer to a ConstantUtf8.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### accept

          public void accept(Visitor v)

      Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitly defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.
      Specified by:
        `accept` in interface `Node`
      Specified by:
        `accept` in class `Constant`
      Parameters:
        `v` - Visitor object

    - #### dump

          public void dump(DataOutputStream file)
                    throws IOException

      Dump constant module to file stream in binary format.
      Specified by:
        `dump` in class `Constant`
      Parameters:
        `file` - Output file stream
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

    - #### getBytes

          public String getBytes(ConstantPool cp)

      Returns:
        dereferenced string

    - #### getConstantValue

          public Object getConstantValue(ConstantPool cp)

      Specified by:
        `getConstantValue` in interface `ConstantObject`
      Returns:
        String object

    - #### getNameIndex

          public int getNameIndex()

      Returns:
        Name index in constant pool of module name.

    - #### setNameIndex

          public void setNameIndex(int nameIndex)

      Parameters:
        `nameIndex` - the name index in the constant pool of this Constant Module

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Constant`
      Returns:
        String representation.
