Detailed Description

Typedef Documentation

typedef unsigned int CMPIFlags

A bitmask type that represents options specified by the WBEM client.

The CMPIFlags type is used to inform MI functions about options specified by the WBEM client and passed on to the MI for certain requests. Normally, MIs will ignore these flags; however, these flags can be useful when MB services are invoked, or an external MB is contacted.

CMPIFlags are not passed to MIs directly. MIs can use CMPIContext services to gain access under the entry name CMPIInvocationFlags.

These flags may not be supported by all WBEM protocols.

If a particular flag is not defined for the operation that is invoked, it shall have a value of 0 (false).

See Test masks for CMPIFlags for a definition of test masks for CMPIFlags.
