MI_Class_GetElementAt function (mi.h)
Gets details of a class element based on the element index.
Syntax
MI_INLINE MI_Result MI_Class_GetElementAt(
[in] const MI_Class *self,
MI_Uint32 index,
const MI_Char **name,
[out, optional] MI_Value *value,
[out, optional] MI_Boolean *valueExists,
[out, optional] MI_Type *type,
MI_Char **referenceClass,
[out, optional] MI_QualifierSet *qualifierSet,
[out, optional] MI_Uint32 *flags
);
Parameters
[in] self
A pointer to the class object from which the element is to be retrieved.
index
Zero-based index of the element to retrieve.
name
A pointer to the pointer to the variable to receive the returned name of the element. The memory associated with the name is valid until the class object is deleted. When you have finished using the class object, delete it by calling the MI_Class_Delete function. If this information is not needed, pass NULL for this parameter.
[out, optional] value
A pointer to the variable to receive the returned default value for the element. The value is valid for the lifetime of the class object; the value does not need to be deleted. If this information is not needed, pass NULL for this parameter.
[out, optional] valueExists
A pointer to the variable to receive the returned Boolean value that indicates whether a default value exits for the specified element. MI_TRUE if a default value exits; otherwise, MI_FALSE. If this information is not needed, pass NULL for this parameter.
[out, optional] type
A pointer to the variable to receive the returned value of the MI_Type enumeration that specifies the data type. This parameter is optional. If this information is not needed, pass NULL for this parameter.
referenceClass
The class of the reference (if the element is a strongly typed reference) or the class name (if the element is a strongly typed embedded instance).
[out, optional] qualifierSet
A pointer to the variable that receives the returned qualifier set. This parameter is optional. The qualifier set exists for the lifetime of the class object. If this information is not needed, pass NULL for this parameter.
[out, optional] flags
A pointer to the variable to receive the returned flag values that describe various aspects of the element. This parameter is optional. The returned flag values can be any combination of the following MI_FLAG_* values, with the exception of certain groups of mutually exclusive flags.
MI_FLAG_ABSTRACT (131072 (0x20000))
A class flag that indicates that the class is abstract. This flag is applicable only when used in conjunction with the MI_FLAG_CLASS flag, and the flag is mutually exclusive with the MI_FLAG_TERMINAL flag.
MI_FLAG_ADOPT (2147483648 (0x80000000))
A property flag used while adding and setting properties on an MI_Instance structure to indicate that the instance will adopt the pointer and will be responsible for deleting it. This flag is mutually exclusive with the MI_FLAG_BORROW flag.
MI_FLAG_ANY (127 (0x7F))
A bitmask used to filter out these CIM meta-type (qualifier scope) flags.
- MI_FLAG_CLASS
- MI_FLAG_METHOD
- MI_FLAG_PROPERTY
- MI_FLAG_PARAMETER
- MI_FLAG_ASSOCIATION
- MI_FLAG_INDICATION
- MI_FLAG_REFERENCE
MI_FLAG_ASSOCIATION (16 (0x10))
A CIM meta-type used in the MI_ClassDecl structure to indicate that a class structure is also an association class structure. This flag is mutually exclusive with other CIM meta-type (qualifier scope) flags.
MI_FLAG_BORROW (1073741824 (0x40000000))
A property flag used while adding and setting properties on an MI_Instance structure to indicate that the instance will not copy the value. The value must stay valid until the instance is deleted. This flag is mutually exclusive with the MI_FLAG_ADOPT flag.
MI_FLAG_CLASS (1 (0x1))
A CIM meta-type used in the MI_ClassDecl structure to indicate a structure describing a class. This flag is mutually exclusive with other CIM meta-type (qualifier scope) flags.
MI_FLAG_DISABLEOVERRIDE (256 (0x100))
A qualifier flag flavor to indicate that the qualifier cannot be overridden. This flag is mutually exclusive with the MI_FLAG_ENABLEOVERRIDE flag.
MI_FLAG_ENABLEOVERRIDE (128 (0x80))
A qualifier flag flavor to indicate that the qualifier can be overridden. This flag is mutually exclusive with the MI_FLAG_DISABLEOVERRIDE flag.
MI_FLAG_EXPENSIVE (524288 (0x80000))
A property flag that indicates the property is expensive. A provider does not need to supply expensive properties unless the client asks for it, although most engines and clients do not support this concept and all properties are always returned. This flag is applicable only when used in conjunction with the MI_FLAG_PROPERTY flag.
MI_FLAG_IN (8192 (0x2000))
A parameter flag that indicates that the parameter is of type In and is passed into the method. This flag is applicable only when used in conjunction with the MI_FLAG_PARAMETER flag.
MI_FLAG_INDICATION (32 (0x20))
A CIM meta-type used in the MI_ClassDecl structure to indicate that a class structure is also an indication class structure. This flag is mutually exclusive with other CIM meta-type (qualifier scope) flags.
MI_FLAG_KEY (4096 (0x1000))
A property flag that indicates that the element is a key property. This flag is applicable only when used in conjunction with the MI_FLAG_PROPERTY flag.
MI_FLAG_METHOD (2 (0x2))
A CIM meta-type used in the MI_MethodDecl structure to indicate a structure describing a method. This flag is mutually exclusive with other CIM meta-type (qualifier scope) flags.
MI_FLAG_NOT_MODIFIED (33554432 (0x2000000))
A flag that indicates that the property is not modified.
MI_FLAG_NULL (536870912 (0x20000000))
A flag that indicates that a property value or method parameter value is null.
MI_FLAG_OUT (16384 (0x4000))
A parameter flag that indicates that the parameter is of type Out and is returned from the method. This flag is applicable only when used in conjunction with the MI_FLAG_PARAMETER flag.
MI_FLAG_PARAMETER (8 (0x8))
A CIM meta-type used in the MI_ParameterDecl structure to indicate a structure describing a parameter. This flag is mutually exclusive with other CIM meta-type (qualifier scope) flags.
MI_FLAG_PROPERTY (4 (0x4))
A CIM meta-type used in the MI_PropertyDecl structure to indicate a structure describing a property. This flag is mutually exclusive with other CIM meta-type (qualifier scope) flags.
MI_FLAG_READONLY (2097152 (0x200000))
A property flag that indicates that the property can only be read and cannot be written to. This flag is applicable only when used in conjunction with the MI_FLAG_PROPERTY flag.
MI_FLAG_REFERENCE (64 (0x40))
A CIM meta-type used in the MI_QualifierDecl structure in the scope field to indicate a structure describing a pointer to other instances. This flag is mutually exclusive with other CIM meta-type (qualifier scope) flags.
MI_FLAG_REQUIRED (32768 (0x8000))
A parameter flag that indicates that the parameter must be specified. This flag is applicable only when used in conjunction with the MI_FLAG_PARAMETER flag.
MI_FLAG_RESTRICTED (512 (0x200))
A qualifier flavor that states that the qualifier will not be propagated to a derived class. The qualifier applies only to the class in which it is declared. This flag is mutually exclusive with the MI_FLAG_TOSUBCLASS flag.
MI_FLAG_STATIC (65536 (0x10000))
A flag that is used on methods to indicate that the element is static and does not need an instance specifying the key to invoke it.
MI_FLAG_STREAM (1048576 (0x100000))
A flag that indicates that a method parameter will be streamed back to the client from the provider. This flag is applicable only when used in conjunction with the MI_FLAG_PARAMETER flag.
MI_FLAG_TERMINAL (262144 (0x40000))
A class flag that indicates that the class cannot be derived from. This flag is applicable only when used in conjunction with the MI_FLAG_CLASS flag, and the flag is mutually exclusive with the MI_FLAG_ABSTRACT flag.
MI_FLAG_TOSUBCLASS (1024 (0x400))
A qualifier flavor that states that the class qualifier is inherited automatically by any subclass. This flag is mutually exclusive with the MI_FLAG_RESTRICTED flag.
MI_FLAG_TRANSLATABLE (2048 (0x800))
A qualifier flavor that indicates that there may be different languages associated with the element. Translatable qualifiers will be treated such that strings and values can be localized in different languages.
MI_FLAG_VERSION (469762048 (0x1C000000))
Three bits reserved by the infrastructure to handle future versioning changes.
Return value
This function returns MI_INLINE MI_Result.
Remarks
All element information is read-only. The information returned is valid until the class is deleted.
