SbName — character string stored in a hash table

       This  class of strings stores the string in a hash table. It is used by the Inventor toolkit for keywords
       and other unique names. It is not recommended for general use (only in the context of Inventor  objects).
       When  a  string is stored in this table, a pointer to the storage is returned. Two identical strings will
       return the same pointer. This means that comparison of two SbNames for equality can  be  accomplished  by
       comparing  their identifiers. SbNames are used for strings which are expected to show up frequently, such
       as node names.

          Constructors and destructor.

     constchar*getString()const
          Returns pointer to the character string.

     intgetLength()const
          Returns length of string.

     staticSbBoolisIdentStartChar(charc)
          Returns TRUE if given character is a legal starting character for an identifier.

     staticSbBoolisIdentChar(charc)
          Returns TRUE if given character is a legal nonstarting character for an identifier.

     intoperator!()const
          Unary "not" operator; returns TRUE if string is empty ("").

     intoperator==(constchar*s,constSbName&n)intoperator==(constSbName&n1,constSbName&n2)intoperator==(constSbName&n,constchar*s)
          Equality operator for SbName/char* and SbName/SbName comparison.

     intoperator!=(constchar*s,constSbName&n)intoperator!=(constSbName&n1,constSbName&n2)intoperator!=(constSbName&n,constchar*s)
          Inequality operator for SbName/char* and SbName/SbName comparison.
