# Interface TypeDescriptor.OfField<F extends TypeDescriptor.OfField<F>>

Type Parameters:
  `F` - the class implementing TypeDescriptor.OfField

All Superinterfaces:
  `TypeDescriptor`

All Known Subinterfaces:
  `ClassDesc`

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `Class`

Enclosing interface:
  TypeDescriptor

public static interface TypeDescriptor.OfField<F extends TypeDescriptor.OfField<F>> extends TypeDescriptor
An entity that has a field type descriptor. Field descriptors conforming to JVMS 4.3.2 can be described nominally via `Class::describeConstable`; otherwise they cannot be described nominally.
