DESCRIPTION
The listing functions enables you to retrieve the names and the
description of components in a system. You may also list components by
class that match a specified criteria. The listing functions retrieve
the set of language mappings installed for a specified component,
retrieve class name strings for all groups in a component, retrieve a
list of groups within a component, and retrieve the properties for one
or more attributes in a group.
The DmiListComponents() function retrieves the name and (optionally)
the description of components in a system. Use this to interrogate a
system to determine what components are installed. The argin parameter
is an instance of a DmiListComponentsIN structure containing the fol‐
lowing members:
DmiHandle_t handle; /* an open session handle */
DmiRequestMode_t requestMode; /* Unique, first, or next */
DmiUnsigned_t maxCount; /* maximum number to return,
0 for all */
DmiBoolean_t getPragma; /* get optional pragma string */
DmiBoolean_t getDescription; /* get optional component
description */
DmiId_t compId; /* component ID to start with */
The result parameter is a pointer to a DmiListComponentsOUT structure
containing the following members:
DmiErrorStatus_t error_status;
DmiComponentList_t *reply; /* list of components */
An enumeration accesses a specific component or may be used to sequen‐
tially access all components in a system. The caller may choose not to
retrieve the component description by setting the value getDescription
to false. The caller may choose not to retrieve the pragma string by
setting the value of gutta-percha to false. The maxCount, requestMode,
and compId parameters allow the caller to control the information
returned by the Service Provider. When the requestMode is DMI_UNIQUE,
compId specifies the first component requested (or only component if
maxCount is one). When the requestMode is DMI_NEXT, compId specifies
the component just before the one requested. When requestMode is
DMI_FIRST, compId is unused.
To control the amount of information returned, the caller sets max‐
Count to something other than zero. The service provider must honor
this limit on the amount of information returned. When maxCount is 0
the service provider returns information for all components, subject to
the constraints imposed by requestMode and compId.
The DmiListComponentsByClass() function lists components that match
specified criteria. Use this function to determine if a component con‐
tains a certain group or a certain row in a table. A filter condition
may be that a component contains a specified group class name or that
it contains a specific row in a specific group. As with DmiListCompo‐
nents(), the description and pragma strings are optional return values.
argin is an instance of a DmiListComponentsByClassIN structure contain‐
ing the following members:
DmiHandle_t handle; /* an open session handle */
DmiRequestMode_t requestMode; /* Unique, first or next */
DmiUnsigned_t maxCount; /* maximum number to return,
or 0 for all */
DmiBoolean_t getPragma; /* get the optional pragma
string */
DmiBoolean_t getDescription; /* get optional component
description */
DmiId_t compId; /* component ID to start with */
DmiString_t *className; /* group class name string
to match*/
DmiAttributeValues_t *keyList; /* group row keys to match */
The result parameter is a pointer to a DmiListComponentsbyClassOUT
structure containing the following members:
DmiErrorStatus_t error_status;
DmiComponentList_t *reply; /* list of components */
The DmiListLanguages() function retrieves the set of language mappings
installed for the specified component. The argin parameter is an
instance of a DmiListLanguagesIN structure containing the following
members:
DmiHandle_t handle; /* An open session handle */
DmiUnsigned_t maxCount; /* maximum number to return,
or 0 for all */
DmiId_t compId; /* Component to access */
The result parameter is a pointer to a DmiListLanguagesOUT structure
containing the following members:
DmiErrorStatus_t error_status;
DmiStringList_t *reply; /* List of language strings */
The DmiListClassNames() function retrieves the class name strings for
all groups in a component. This enables the management application to
easily determine if a component contains a specific group, or groups.
The argin parameter is an instance of a DmiListClassNamesIN structure
containing the following members:
DmiHandle_t handle; /* An open session handle */
DmiUnsigned_t maxCount; /* maximum number to return,
or 0 for all */
DmiId_t compId; /* Component to access */
The result parameter is a pointer to a DmiListClassNamesOUT structure
containing the following members:
DmiErrorStatus_t error_status;
DmiClassNameList_t *reply; /* List of class names and
group IDs */
The DmiListGroups() function retrieves a list of groups within a compo‐
nent. With this function you can access a specific group or sequen‐
tially access all groups in a component. All enumerations of groups
occur within the specified component and do not span components. The
argin parameter is an instance of a DmiListGroupsIN structure contain‐
ing the following members:
DmiHandle_t handle; /* An open session handle */
DmiRequestMode_t requestMode; /* Unique, first or next group */
DmiUnsigned_t maxCount; /* Maximum number to return,
or 0 for all */
DmiBoolean_t getPragma; /* Get the optional pragma string */
DmiBoolean_t getDescription; /* Get optional group description */
DmiId_t compId; /* Component to access */
DmiId_t groupId; /* Group to start with, refer to
requestMode */
The result parameter is a pointer to a DmiListGroupsOUT structure con‐
taining the following members:
DmiErrorStatus_t error_status;
DmiGroupList_t *reply;
The caller may choose not to retrieve the group description by setting
the value getDescription to false. The caller may choose not to
retrieve the pragma string by setting the value of getPragma to false.
The maxCount, requestMode, and groupId parameters allow the caller to
control the information returned by the Service Provider. When the
requestMode is DMI_UNIQUE, groupId specifies the first group requested
(or only group if maxCount is one). When the requestMode is DMI_NEXT,
groupId specifies the group just before the one requested. When
requestMode is DMI_FIRST, groupId is unused. To control the amount of
information returned, the caller sets maxCount to something other than
zero. The service provider must honor this limit on the amount of
information returned. When maxCount is zero the service provider
returns information for all groups, subject to the constraints imposed
by requestMode and groupId.
The DmiListAttributes() function retrieves the properties for one or
more attributes in a group. All enumerations of attributes occur within
the specified group, and do not span groups. The argin parameter is an
instance of a DmiListAttributesIN structure containing the following
members:
DmiHandle_t handle; /* An open session handle */
DmiRequestMode_t requestMode; /* Unique, first or next group */
DmiUnsigned_t maxCount; /* Maximum number to return,
or 0 for all */
DmiBoolean_t getPragma; /* Get the optional pragma string */
DmiBoolean_t getDescription; /* Get optional group description */
DmiId_t compId; /* Component to access */
DmiId_t groupId; /* Group to access */
DmiId_t attribId; /* Attribute to start with, refer
to requestMode */
The result parameter is a pointer to a DmiListAttributesOUT structure
containing the following members:
DmiErrorStatus_t error_status;
DmiAttributeList_t *reply; /* List of attrbutes */
You may choose not to retrieve the description string by setting the
value of getDescription to false. Likewise, you may choose not to
retrieve the pragma string by setting the value of getPragma to false.
The maxCount, requestMode, and attribId parameters allow you to control
the information returned by the Service Provider. When the requestMode
is DMI_UNIQUE, attribId specifies the first attribute requested (or
only attribute if maxCount is one). When the requestMode is DMI_NEXT,
attribId specifies the attribute just before the one requested. When
requestMode is DMI_FIRST, attribId is unused. To control the amount of
information returned, the caller sets maxCount to something other than
zero. The Service Provider must honor this limit on the amount of
information returned. When maxCount is zero the service provider
returns information for all attributes, subject to the constraints
imposed by requestMode and attribId.
