What suport does Scala have for class/object level access control?

Question

Java supports public and package-private access modifier on the class level (Controlling Access to Members of a Class). What access modifier does Scala support for classes/objects access control?

The only documentation I can find mentions method level access control exclusively, any documentation that mentions class/object access control would be very helpful.

you can freely write code like private class Foo private(val bazz : Int). It would mean private to enclosing object class Foo with private constructor — ayvango

You can use the same access modifiers for classes you use for methods.

Here's a good blog post by Alvin Alexander that should help you answer those questions. More in-depth information on Classes & Objects is available in the Scala spec.

Unfortunately that post only discusses method level access control. It does not mention class/object level control.

@MikeRylander I've linked in the spec that speaks to Classes & Objects.
