IIndexLocationConverter (Eclipse CDT API Specification)

All Known Implementing Classes:

ResourceContainerRelativeLocationConverter, URIRelativeLocationConverter
```
public interface IIndexLocationConverter
```
Each IIndexFragment stores file location representations in an implementation specific manner. External to IIndexFragment files are identified by an IIndexFileLocation Internal to IIndexFragment a mechanism for converting between the string location format used and the URI world is needed. This interface represents that mechanism.

Restriction:

This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
