protected and published in class

[viliml]

I know that private means only functions inside the class and it's friends can access that data, and that public means everyone and everything everywhere can access it, but what about protected and published? What do they mean?
PS: Did you realize ass access specifiers begin with a 'p'? Weird huh?

Never heard about 'published'
protected means that the derived classes can access them.

OK, thanks. As for published, I googled it and it seems it is like public, but has RTTI attached.

This published thing maybe Delphi related
