<
(SENDCLASS class name {arguments})>
This statement can be used to send a message to (i.e. to invoke a method of) a specific class. It may appear anywhere in a template source file, and is simply translated into a corresponding C function call by VOOPS. Again, neither the existence of the class nor the method name is checked, since these may not be known when VOOPSing the template source file. The actual checking of the availability of a method is left up for the linker which must resolve external references anyway.
