public interface IInstallableUnitFragment
extends IInstallableUnit

Represents a fragment that contributes additional requirements, capabilities, and other properties to some host installable unit. Installable unit fragments are not directly installed, but rather they alter the metadata of other installable units.

Instances of this class are handle objects and do not necessarily reflect entities that exist in any particular profile or repository. These handle objects can be created using MetadataFactory.
