metaClass

In object-oriented programming, a metaclass is a class whose instances are classes. Just as an ordinary class defines the behavior of certain objects, a metaclass defines the behavior of certain classes and their instances.fa

元类定义了类的通用属性;

是类方法;

建立了类层面的依赖选择;

+ (Class)layerClass;                        // default is [CALayer class]. Used when creating the underlying layer for the view.

它配置的属性或者是根、或者是他的更上一层的抽象。

元类用于更改类的结构和行为。有缺省的结构。
