# Class: com.pnfsoftware.jeb.core.units.code.asm.sig.NativeSignaturePackageEntry

Represents a signature package available through the [NativeSignatureDBManager](NativeSignatureDBManager). The corresponding signatures are not necessarily loaded in memory \(see [NativeSignaturePackageEntry#isLoadedInMemory()](NativeSignaturePackageEntry#isLoadedInMemory()). 

 The entry also stores signatures intended to be written into the package, see [NativeSignaturePackageEntry#getSignatureToWrite()](NativeSignaturePackageEntry#getSignatureToWrite()). 

 Notes: once loaded in memory, the signatures are not stored in this class, but in an internal storage of the [NativeSignatureDBManager](NativeSignatureDBManager).
