# NSScriptObjectSpecifiers

A collection of methods providing additional object specifier functionality.

## Discussion

These methods allow scriptable objects to provide a fully specified object specifier to themselves within an app. They also enable containers of objects to perform their own specifier evaluation.

For a comprehensive treatment of object specifiers, including sample code, see [Object Specifiers](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ScriptableCocoaApplications/SApps_object_specifiers/SAppsObjectSpecifiers.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002164-CH3) in [Cocoa Scripting Guide](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ScriptableCocoaApplications/SApps_intro/SAppsIntro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002164).
