Detailed Description

Macro Definition Documentation

#define CMPI_UINT   ((8)<<4)

Test mask for CIM unsigned integer types

Bug:

The CMPI_UINT test mask matches not only for unsigned integer types, but in addition for signed integers. For compatibility reasons, this cannot be fixed in CMPI 2.x.

#define CMPI_uint64   ((8+3)<<4)

Indicates a CMPIValue.uint64 value

#define CMPI_SINT   ((8+4)<<4)

Test mask for CIM signed integer types

Bug:

The CMPI_SINT test mask matches not only for signed integer types, but in addition for unsigned integers. For compatibility reasons, this cannot be fixed in CMPI 2.x.

#define CMPI_sint64   ((8+7)<<4)

Indicates a CMPIValue.sint64 value

Typedef Documentation

typedef unsigned short CMPIType

A bitmask type representing a CMPI type.

CMPIType is used mainly in CMPI data items (see CMPIData) and is also used standalone in some cases.

See Test masks and values for CMPIType for a definition of test masks and values for CMPIType.
