## Method: getAddress
- return type: `java.lang.String`

Description: Get the item address.
return: the item address

## Method: getGenericFlags
- return type: `int`

Description: Get the canonicalized generic flags for that code item. Examples include access flags or structural flags.
return: bit mask of `ICodeItem.FLAG_*` values

## Method: getIndex
- return type: `int`

Description: Get the item index. The meaning of the index is specific to the code unit produced the item.
return: the item index

## Method: getItemId

Description: Get the item identifier.
return: the item identifier

## Method: getName
- parameter: `effective`, type: `boolean`
- return type: `java.lang.String`

Description: Get the item simple name. 

 If the item is qualified, the non\-qualified name should be returned.
parameter: effective: true to get the actual name, false to return the original name \(if the unit            allows the modification of items\)
return: the name

## Method: getName
- return type: `java.lang.String`

Description: Get the item name. The effective name is returned. 

 If the item is qualified, the non\-qualified name should be returned.
return: the effective name

## Method: getSignature
- parameter: `effective`, type: `boolean`
- return type: `java.lang.String`

Description: Get the item signature.
parameter: effective: true to get the actual signature, false to return the original signature \(if            the unit allows the modification of items\)
return: the signature

## Method: getSignature
- parameter: `effective`, type: `boolean`
- parameter: `internal`, type: `boolean`
- return type: `java.lang.String`

Description: Get the item signature.
parameter: effective: true to get the actual signature, false to return the original signature \(if            the unit allows the modification of items\)
parameter: internal: true to generate internal names \(default\); false to generate user\-friendly            signatures \(may be the same as the internal signatures\)

## Method: isArtificial
- return type: `boolean`

Description: Determine if the item was part of the original code unit, or was added after processing complete \(eg, by a third\-party client\). 

 This is a convenience method that checks whether [#FLAG_ARTIFICIAL](#FLAG_ARTIFICIAL) is set.
return: true if the item is artificial

## Method: isInternal
- return type: `boolean`

Description: Determine if the item is internal or external. An internal item is defined within its unit, whereas an external item may just be a reference to an item defined in a separate unit. 

 This is a convenience method that checks whether [#FLAG_INTERNAL](#FLAG_INTERNAL) is set.
return: true if the item is internal
