💖 NAME 💖

CMPIEnumeration — the CMPIEnumeration class implementation, bestie. That's the whole vibe. It's a section 3 (library functions) page, so yeah, it's giving "C library internals" energy, but we're gonna make it cute. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

🌸 Public Attributes 🌸

• int void * hdl — an opaque pointer to the class instance data. Opaque means don't peek, it's not for you, it's private business 💅
• CMPIEnumerationFT * ft — pointer to the Args Function Table. Yes queen, that's where the function pointers live.

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• CMPIStatus(* release )(CMPIEnumeration *en) — tells the world you're done with this Enumeration object, so it won't be used any further and the CMPI run time system may free it. Say bye, it's over 💀
• CMPIEnumeration *(* clone )(CMPIEnumeration *en, CMPIStatus *rc) — makes an independent copy of this Enumeration object. Not a situationship, a whole separate clone, fr fr 🧬
• CMPIData(* getNext )(CMPIEnumeration *en, CMPIStatus *rc) — grab the next element of this Enumeration. One at a time, no skipping, no cap 🍓
• CMPIBoolean(* hasNext )(CMPIEnumeration *en, CMPIStatus *rc) — vibe check: are there any elements left in this Enumeration? Returns a CMPIBoolean so you get a real answer 😌
• CMPIArray *(* toArray )(CMPIEnumeration *en, CMPIStatus *rc) — glow-up time: converts this Enumeration into an Array ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Native CMPIEnumeration implementation. Periodt.

This is the native CMPIEnumeration implementation as used for remote providers. It reflects the well-defined interface of a regular CMPIEnumeration, however, it works independently from the management broker. So like, same interface, but it doesn't need the broker holding its hand 🫶

It is part of a native broker implementation that simulates CMPI data types rather than interacting with the entities in a full-grown CIMOM. Fake it till you make it, lowkey iconic 🌈

Okay that's the whole page, bestie! This one came from the SFCBroker Client Library, tagged sfcc, and the page is dated 2005-06-09. It's an oldie but a goodie, and it ate. Mwah 💋
