Core data files exported with underscore

When I go to Editor-->CreateNSManagedObjectSubclass, and export my entities, they show up as the entity names... but another person who was working on my project before seems to have exported as their name with an underscorebefore, and these files look totally different on the inside...So I'm confused as to what's going on. Here's a google doc that contains a few relevant screenshots... Check out the second page to the two sections of fields. I'm sort of confused by them: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BMBqJME91Njb69JS4x3bvH0-KSmC-KLBl6QglE22jmQ/edit?usp=sharing Can someone explain what is going on here?

You might want to read up on MOGenerator, since that's apparently what your predecessor used to generate the managed object classes. By default MOGenerator generates base classes prefixed with an underscore and initially generates stub subclasses (the ones without the underscores).

You can then write any custom code in the subclasses. That way, whenever the model changes, you can regenerate the base classes without worrying about clobbering your custom code, since by default MOGenerator won't regenerate the subclasses.
