Get Attribute - Access Module

The Get Attribute function retrieves an arbitrary data value from an Access Module. The structure follows:

typedef struct _pmiAttribute                                          

{                                                              

  char      EyeCatcher[pmiMAX_EC_LEN];  /* Struct eyecatcher string */

  pmUInt32  StructLength;               /* Length of this structure */

  void     *ObjData;           /* Object pointer (PIData or FIData) */

  pmUInt32  AttrNameLen;                /* Length of attribute name */

  char      AttrName[pmiMAX_ATR_NAME_LEN];       /* Attribute name */

  pmUInt32  AttrValueLen;              /* Length of attribute value */

  char      AttrValue[pmiMAX_ATR_VAL_LEN];       /* Attribute value */

  } pmiAttr_t;                                                          

where:

Parameter	Field	Description
EyeCatcher	input	Structure description string, such as pmGetAParms.
StructLength	input	Total structure length, including the EyeCatcher string.
ObjData	input	Pointer to one of two forms of data. The type of data depends on the value of Reqtype as follows: pmiPIDMOptGetA_A – ObjData is a value provided by an Access Module in response to a previous initialization request call (as in PIData fields, noted earlier). pmiPIDMOptGetF_A – ObjData is a value provided by an Access Module in response to a previous open request call (as in FIData fields, noted earlier).
AttrNameLen	input	Length of the AttrName field.
AttrName	input	Name of the attribute.
AttrValueLen	output	Length of the AttrValue field.
AttrValue	output	Value of the attribute.
