# Class Port.Info

java.lang.Object
javax.sound.sampled.Line.Info
javax.sound.sampled.Port.Info

Enclosing interface:
  `Port`

public static class Port.Info extends Line.Info
The `Port.Info` class extends `Line.Info` with additional information specific to ports, including the port's name and whether it is a source or a target for its mixer. By definition, a port acts as either a source or a target to its mixer, but not both. (Audio input ports are sources; audio output ports are targets.)

To learn what ports are available, you can retrieve port info objects through the `getSourceLineInfo` and `getTargetLineInfo` methods of the `Mixer` interface. Instances of the `Port.Info` class may also be constructed and used to obtain lines matching the parameters specified in the `Port.Info` object.

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### Info

    public Info(Class<?> lineClass, String name, boolean isSource)
    Constructs a port's info object from the information given. This constructor is typically used by an implementation of Java Sound to describe a supported line.
    Parameters:
      `lineClass` - the class of the port described by the info object
      `name` - the string that names the port
      `isSource` - `true` if the port is a source port (such as a microphone), `false` if the port is a target port (such as a speaker)

- ## Method Details

  - ### getName

    public String getName()
    Obtains the name of the port.
    Returns:
      the string that names the port

  - ### isSource

    public boolean isSource()
    Indicates whether the port is a source or a target for its mixer.
    Returns:
      `true` if the port is a source port (such as a microphone), `false` if the port is a target port (such as a speaker)

  - ### matches

    public boolean matches(Line.Info info)
    Indicates whether this info object specified matches this one. To match, the match requirements of the superclass must be met and the types must be equal.
    Overrides:
      `matches` in class `Line.Info`
    Parameters:
      `info` - the info object for which the match is queried
    Returns:
      `true` if the specified object matches this one, `false` otherwise

  - ### equals

    public final boolean equals(Object obj)
    Indicates whether the specified object is equal to this info object, returning `true` if the objects are the same.
    Overrides:
      `equals` in class `Object`
    Parameters:
      `obj` - the reference object with which to compare
    Returns:
      `true` if the specified object is equal to this info object; `false` otherwise
    See Also:
      - `Object.hashCode()`
      - `HashMap`

  - ### hashCode

    public final int hashCode()
    Returns a hash code value for this info object.
    Overrides:
      `hashCode` in class `Object`
    Returns:
      a hash code value for this info object
    See Also:
      - `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`
      - `System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)`

  - ### toString

    public final String toString()
    Returns a string representation of the info object.
    Overrides:
      `toString` in class `Line.Info`
    Returns:
      a string representation of the info object
