This includes: <UL> <LI>Classes \Ref{CLASS} <LI>Instances of Classes \Rf{REFERENCE} <LI>Qualifiers \Ref{QUALIFIER} <LI>Properties <LI>Methods <LI>Arrays </UL> Pegasus implements representations of these objects in C++ classes and provides methods for creation, manipulation, and deletion of the objects. In addition, Pegasus implements a number of the key concepts built into CIM as objects including: <UL> <LI> Scope <LI> Flavor <LI>Object Path <LI>etc. </UL> Much of the programming of the Pegasus object broker, clients, and in particular providers and service extensions in the Pegasus envrinment depends on the use of these C++ representations of CIM Objects and concepts. Each Pegasus CIM C++ Object representation includes: <UL> <LI>TConstructors and destructors <LI>Methods for manipulation of sub-objects. Thus, the class and instance classes provide for manipulation of the property, qualifier, and method objects that are contained in these classes. <LI>Methods for finding sub-objects. Thus, the class and instance classes provide for finding property, qualifier, and method objects within an instnace of a CIMClass or CIMInstance. These methods are generally built around defining the name of the object to be found and having an index to that object returned. <LI>Methods for comparison <LI>Methods for cloning <LI>Methods to convert the object to XML <LI>Methods to convert the object to MOF (Planned) </UL> There is a class for every major CIM object and concept as shown in the table in \Ref{CIM Object Table} */
