✨ NAME ✨

CMPIString — the CMPIString class implementation, bestie 💖 (this is page 3 of the manual, dated 2005-06-09, and yes she's been iconic since 2005, no cap)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

💅 Public Attributes

• int void * hdl; — an opaque pointer to the class instance data. Opaque means you don't get to look inside, babe, it's giving mystery 🕵️♀️
• CMPIStringFT * ft; — a pointer to the Args Function Table. That's where the functions live, iykyk.

🔥 METHODS 🔥

• CMPIStatus release (CMPIString *string)
• CMPIString * clone (CMPIString *string, CMPIStatus *rc)
• char * getCharPtr (CMPIString *string, CMPIStatus *rc)

ngl that's the whole list, exactly as written, I'm not adding or removing a single one 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. CMPIString is the class implementation that represents the Encapsulated String object. Encapsulated. String. She's contained, she's self-possessed, she has main character energy 💅

This is the native CMPIString implementation, and it's the one used for remote providers. It reflects the well-defined interface of a regular CMPIString — like, the exact same energy — BUT ✋ it works independently from the management broker. She does not need the broker. She's thriving on her own 🦋

It's part of a native broker implementation that simulates CMPI data types, rather than interacting with the entities in a full-grown CIMOM. Think of it as the vibe-accurate stand-in, not the real deal interacting with real entities. It's giving understudy that ate 🔥
