13 * YANG statement <code>typedef</code> contains also substatements
15 * <li><code>default</code> - default value which is compatible with
16 * <code>type</code>,</li>
17 * <li><code>type</code> - base type from which is <code>typedef</code> derived,
19 * <li><code>units</code> - textual information about units associated with this
22 * This interface contains the methods for getting the values of the arguments of substatements mentioned above.

27 * type of the base type (YANG <code>type</code> substatement) which
