NAMECMCIClientFT.getClass() - Get class as reference
SYNOPSIS
#include <cmci.h>
CMPIConstClass*
CMCIClientFT.getClass(CMCIClient*cl,
CMPIObjectPath*op,
CMPIFlagsflags,
char**properties,
CMPIStatus*rc);
DESCRIPTION
Get Class using op as reference. The content of the returned class
structure can be controled using the flags parameter.
Arguments are the client object pointer cl, ObjectPath object pointer
op that contains namespace and classname components, flags to affect
the returned class structure content, properties array, where if not
NULL the members of the array define one or more Property names, and rc
the CMPI return status (suppressed when NULL).
The flags argument is a bit mask that can contain combinations of the
following flags - CMPI_FLAG_LocalOnly, CMPI_FLAG_IncludeQualifiers and
CMPI_FLAG_IncludeClassOrigin.
The properties array defines what properties should be returned for the
class. If this argument is not NULL, only the class properties in the
list are returned. If it's NULL all class properties are returned.
RETURN VALUE
When successful the CMCIClientFT.getClass() function returns a pointer
to a CMPIConstClass object and sets a successful status code in rc.
When unsuccessful it returns NULL and sets the rc argument with the
error code and and corresponding error string.
