Hello, I known that there are 4 type of protection for the Fields and methods of the class:

private: Accessible only by functions of the class
public: Accessible also from the rest of the program

But I do not know the meanings of package and export, someone knows this??

Thanks

Well actually in D the meanings above are not quite accurate. In D the meanings are ...

Private: Accessible to code in the same module.

Protected: Accessible to code in the same module and from classes derived from the protected class. (Only applies to classes).

Public: Accessible to code in any module.

Package: Accessible to code in any module within the same package, which means in the same directory.

Export: Accessible to code in other applications.
