NAME
CMCIClientFT.getInstance() - Get class instance
SYNOPSIS
#include <cmci.h>
CMPIInstance*
CMCIClientFT.getInstance(CMCIClient*cl,
CMPIObjectPath*op,
CMPIFlagsflags,
char**properties,
CMPIStatus*rc);
DESCRIPTION
Get class instance using op as reference. The content of the returned
class instance 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 instance structure content,
properties array, and rc which returns the operation 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.getInstance() function returns a
pointer to a CMPIInstance object and sets a successful status code for
rc. When unsuccessful it returns NULL and sets the rc argument with
the error code and and corresponding error string.
