NAME

       cmciConnect() - Create a CMCIClient object and connection

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cmci.h>

       CMCIClient*
       cmciConnect(constchar*hostName,constchar*scheme,
       constchar*hostPort,constchar*CimUsername,
       constchar*CimPassword,CMPIStatus*rc);

       CMCIClient*
       cmciConnect2(constchar*hostName,constchar*scheme,
       constchar*hostPort,constchar*CimUsername,
       intverifyMode,constchar*trustStore,
       constchar*certFile,constchar*keyFile,
       constchar*CimPassword,CMPIStatus*rc);

DESCRIPTION

       Create  a  CMCIClient object and initialize it with the CIMOM connection hostname and port, the security credentials to log into the CIMOM,
       and the internals for sending requests and receiving responses from the CIMOM.

       Arguments are the hostName and hostPort to connect, the CimUsername and CimPassword credentials for authentication with the  CIMOM,  and  a
       pointer to an object to receive the CMPIStatus operation status.

       The function cmciConnect2 has the same purpose but offers extra parameters to control SSL operations.

       verifyMode  specifies whether the server certificate for an SSL connection is to be verified. If set to CMCI_VERIFY_NONE the server ceriti-
       ficat will not be verified, if set to CMCI_VERIFY_PEER it will be verified agains the certificates in trustStore.

       trustStore contains the name of a file containing CA or client certificates against which the server certificate will be verified if  veri-
       fyMode is set to CMCI_VERIFY_PEER.

       certFile  specifies  the name of a file containing a client certificate which will be presented to the CIM server, if the CIM server imple-
       ments certificate-based client authentication. Must be set to NULL, if no client certificates are available.

       keyFile specifies the name of a file containing the private key for the certificate specified via certFile.  Must be set  to  NULL,  if	no
       client certificates are available.

RETURN VALUE

       When  successful  the cmciConnect function returns a pointer to a dynamically allocated and initialized CMCIClient object with a successful
       operation status code set.  When unsuccessful it returns NULL and sets rc object with the error code and corresponding error string.

ERRORS

EXAMPLES

	  CMCIClient *cc;

	  /* Setup a local conncetion to the CIMOM */
	  cc = cmciConnect("localhost", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

NAME

       CMCIClientFT.enumInstances() - Enumerate instances of a class

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cmci.h>

       CMPIEnumeration*
       CMCIClientFT.enumInstances(CMCIClient*cl,
		      CMPIObjectPath*op,
		      CMPIFlagsflags,
		      char**properties,
		      CMPIStatus*rc);

DESCRIPTION

       Enumerate  Instances  of the class (and subclasses) defined by op.  The instance structure and inheritance scope can be controled using the
       flags argument.

       Arguments are the client object pointer cl, an ObjectPath object pointer op with the reference that contains namespace and classname compo-
       nents, flags that affect the content of the returned class instance structures, a properties array, and rc which returns the operation sta-
       tus (suppressed when NULL).

       The flags argument is a bit mask that can contains the following flags - CMPI_FLAG_LocalOnly, CMPI_FLAG_DeepInheritance, CMPI_FLAG_Include-
       Qualifiers and CMPI_FLAG_IncludeClassOrigin.

RETURN VALUE

       When  successful  the CMCIClientFT.enumInstances() function returns a pointer to a CMPIEnumeration object that contains the class instances
       found for the class and sets a successful operation status code in rc.  When unsuccessful it returns a NULL pointer and sets the  operation
       status error code and corresponding error string in rc.

ERRORS

EXAMPLES

	  CMCIClient *cc;
	  CMPIObjectPath * objectpath;
	  CMPIInstance * instance;
	  CMPIEnumeration * enumeration;
	  CMPIStatus status;

	  /* Setup a conncetion to the CIMOM */
	  cc = cmciConnect("localhost", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

	  objectpath = newCMPIObjectPath("root/cimv2", NULL, NULL);
	  enumeration = cc->ft->enumInstances(cc, objectpath, 0, NULL, &status);

	  if   (!status.rc)  {	     fprintf(stderr,  "operation  error  code  %d  description	%s0,		     status.rc,  status.msg->hdl);
	    abort();
	  }
