## Enum KernelAction

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<KernelAction>
  - - madkit.action.KernelAction

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<KernelAction>

      public enum KernelAction
      extends Enum<KernelAction>

  Enum representing kernel actions. This especially could be used to communicate with the kernel in order to trigger kernel's actions. It could be used by any agent to interact with the kernel by creating `Action` using `getActionFor(AbstractAgent, Object...)`.
  Since:
    MaDKit 5.0.0.14

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static KernelAction[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (KernelAction c : KernelAction.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static KernelAction valueOf(String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

    - #### getActionFor

          public Action getActionFor(AbstractAgent agent,
                            Object... parameters)

      Builds an action that will make the kernel do the corresponding operation if possible.
      Parameters:
        `agent` - the agent that will send the message to the kernel
        `parameters` - the info
      Returns:
        the new corresponding action

    - #### getActionInfo

          public ActionInfo getActionInfo()

      Returns:
        the actionInfo
