## NAME
    [XML::DOM::AttlistDecl](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3ADOM%3A%3AAttlistDecl/markdown) - An XML ATTLIST declaration in [XML::DOM](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3ADOM/markdown)

## DESCRIPTION
    [XML::DOM::AttlistDecl](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3ADOM%3A%3AAttlistDecl/markdown) extends [XML::DOM::Node](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/XML%3A%3ADOM%3A%3ANode/markdown) but is not part of the DOM Level 1 specification.

    This node represents an ATTLIST declaration, e.g.

     <!ATTLIST person
       sex      (male|female)  #REQUIRED
       hair     CDATA          "bold"
       eyes     (none|one|two) "two"
       species  (human)        #FIXED "human">

    Each attribute definition is stored a separate AttDef node. The AttDef nodes can be retrieved
    with getAttDef and added with addAttDef. (The AttDef nodes are stored in a NamedNodeMap
    internally.)

  METHODS
    getName
        Returns the Element tagName.

    getAttDef (attrName)
        Returns the AttDef node for the attribute with the specified name.

    addAttDef (attrName, type, default, [ fixed ])
        Adds a AttDef node for the attribute with the specified name.

        Parameters: *attrName* the attribute name. *type* the attribute type (e.g. "CDATA" or
        "(male|female)".) *default* the default value enclosed in quotes (!), the string #IMPLIED or
        the string #REQUIRED. *fixed* whether the attribute is '#FIXED' (default is 0.)
