Detailed Description
The main application class that coordinates application-wide functionality.
The Application class serves as the central hub for application management. An NXApplication instance is created automatically by invoking the NXApplicationMain function, which initializes the application and starts the main run loop.
You don't create instances of this class directly; instead, you use the sharedApplication method to access the singleton instance. The Application class is responsible for handling command-line arguments, setting the application delegate, starting the main run loop, handling events and then terminating the application gracefully.

Method Documentation
◆ args()
| - (NXArray *) args |
Returns command-line arguments passed to the application.
- Returns
- An array of command-line arguments as strings.
This method retrieves the command-line arguments that were passed to the application at startup. It returns an array containing the arguments, the first of which is typically the application name or path to the executable.
◆ delegate()
| - (id<ApplicationDelegate>) delegate |
Gets the current application delegate.
- Returns
- The current application delegate, or nil if no delegate is set.
This method returns the object that serves as the application's delegate.
- See also
- ApplicationDelegate protocol for - delegate methods.
◆ terminate()
| - (void) terminate |
This method notifies the app that you want to exit the run loop.
The remaining events in the run loop will be processed, and then the application will terminate gracefully.
- Note
- This method does not immediately terminate the application; it simply sets a flag that will be checked in the run loop.
◆ terminateWithExitStatus:()
| - (void) terminateWithExitStatus: | (int) | status |
This method notifies the app that you want to exit the run loop, with a specific exit status.
The remaining events in the run loop will be processed, and then the application will terminate gracefully.
- Note
- This method does not immediately terminate the application; it simply sets a flag that will be checked in the run loop. The process will exit with the specified status code.
