class documentation

Base class for all var entries

A var file is made of one or more entries, each of which contain the data of the familiar var types.

Even though most var files have just one entry, an entry does NOT constitute a complete var file. All var files require an attached header and other metadata.

Use TIEntry.export to create a new TIVar containing the entry, with an optional custom header. Use TIEntry.save to export and save the entry in a var file in the current directory.
