QMultiMap\<Key, T\> is one of Qt's generic \l{container classes}.
- It inherits QMap and extends it with a few convenience functions

- with the same key; QMap normally doesn't allow that, unless you

Because QMultiMap inherits QMap, all of QMap's functionality also
applies to QMultiMap. For example, you can use isEmpty() to test
whether the map is empty, and you can traverse a QMultiMap using
QMap's iterator classes (for example, QMapIterator). But in
- addition, it provides an insert() function that corresponds to
- QMap::insertMulti(), and a replace() function that corresponds to
- QMap::insert(). It also provides convenient operator+() and
- operator+=().
+ addition, it provides an insert() function that inserts but does
+ not overwrite any previous value if the key already exists,
+ and a replace() function that corresponds which does overwite
+ an existing value if they key is already in the map.
