DESCRIPTION
     Each class derived from SoSField begins with an SoSF prefix and contains
     one value of a particular type. Each has Set() and Get() methods that are
     used to change or access this value. In addition, some field classes have
     extra convenience routines that allow values to be set or retrieved in
     other related formats (see below).
     This class is rarely needed by C programmers.

     The value of a single-value field is written to file in a format
     dependent on the field type; see the subclass man pages for details.

     A field that is ignored has a tilde (~) either in place of the value (if
     the actual value is the default) or after it (otherwise).

FUNCTIONS
     SoType              SoSFldGetClassTypeId()
          Return the type identifier for this field class.
