    28 * Class used to query which features are suppported in the environment. 
    29 * Feature Discovery API provides methods which are used to query which
    30 * features are supported in the environment. A feature is a functionality that
    31 * can be optionally left out of some product configurations. Features often 
    32 * depend on the underlying hardware. For example, MMC support or USB support
    33 * can be features. The API consist of the CFeatureDiscovery class which is 
    34 * used together with feature IDs defined in the featureinfo.h file.
    35 *
    36 *
    37 * Usage:
    38 *
    39 * @code
    40 *  #include <FeatDiscovery.h>
    41 *  #include <featureinfo.h> // for feature definitions
    42 *
    43 *  // If querying only one feature, it is more efficient to use the class
    44 *  // via the static method, IsFeatureSupportedL().
    45 *  // When querying more than one feature, it is more efficient to use the 
    46 *  // class by creating an instance and calling the IsSupported() method.
    47 *
    48 *  // Static way of using the class:
    49 *  TBool isSupported = CFeatureDiscovery::IsFeatureSupportedL(KFeatureIdUsb);
    50 *
    51 *  // Dynamic way of using the class using NewL():
    52 *  
    53 *  // Call NewL() to create an instance of CFeatureDiscovery. 
    54 *  CFeatureDiscovery* testA = CFeatureDiscovery::NewL();
    55 * 
    56 *  // Call the exported IsSupported() method to query whether features 
    57 *  // are supported in the current environment or not.
    58 *  TBool usbSupported = testA->IsSupported(KFeatureIdUsb);
    59 *  TBool mmcSupported = testA->IsSupported(KFeatureIdMmc);
    60 *
    61 *  // Delete the created instance of CFeatureDiscovery.
    62 *  delete testA;
    63 *
    64 *  // Dynamic way of using the class using NewLC():
    65 * 
    66 *  // Call NewLC() to create an instance of CFeatureDiscovery.
    67 *  // The method leaves the instance of the object on the cleanup stack.
    68 *  CFeatureDiscovery* testB = CFeatureDiscovery::NewLC();
    69 *
    70 *  // Call the exported IsSupported() method to query whether features 
    71 *  // are supported in the current environment or not. 
    72 *  TBool wcdmaSupported = testB->IsSupported(KFeatureIdProtocolWcdma);
    73 *  TBool gsmSupported = testB->IsSupported(KFeatureIdProtocolGsm);
    74 *
    75 *  // Pop and delete the created instance of CFeatureDiscovery.
