3.2.1 Abstract Data Model

The following section specifies data and state maintained by the Windows Search Protocol client. The data is provided to explain how the protocol behaves. This section does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this document.

A client has the following abstract state:

State	Description
Last Message Sent	A copy of the last message sent to the server.
Current Property Value	A partial value of a "deferred" property, which is in the process of being retrieved.
Current Bytes Received	The number of bytes received for the Current Property Value so far.
Named Pipe Connection	A connection to the server.
