The CIMScope class implements the concept of the scope of a CIM qualifier object.

Documentation

The CIMScope class implements the concept of the scope of a CIM qualifier object. The scope of a qualifier defines the set of types of CIM objects with which the qualifier may be used. The possible values are: NONE, CLASS, ASSOCIATION, INDICATION, PROPERTY, REFERENCE, METHOD, PARAMETER, ANY. The scope is a set of one or more of these possible values. The value "NONE" implies a CIMScope object that has not yet been assigned a value (uninitialized). It is not a valid value for the scope of a qualifier object. The value "ANY" means that the qualifier may be used with any of the CIM object types, and is equivalent to listing each of the object types in the scope.

Public Methods

	CIMScope () Constructs a CIMScope object with no value set (default constructor).
	CIMScope (const CIMScope & scope) Constructs a CIMScope object from an existing CIMScope object (copy constructor).
CIMScope&	operator= (const CIMScope & scope) Assigns the value of one CIMScope object to another (assignment operator).
Boolean	hasScope (const CIMScope & scope) const Determines if every value in the specified CIMScope object is included in this CIMScope object.
void	addScope (const CIMScope & scope) Adds the specified scope value to the CIMScope object.
Boolean	equal (const CIMScope & scope) const Compares two CIMScope objects.
CIMScope	operator+ (const CIMScope & scope) const Combines two CIMScope objects.
String	toString () const Returns a String representation of the CIMScope object.

CIMScope()

Constructs a CIMScope object with no value set (default constructor). The values are null.

CIMScope(const CIMScope & scope)

Constructs a CIMScope object from an existing CIMScope object (copy constructor).

Parameters:

scope - Specifies an instance of CIMScope object.

CIMScope& operator= (const CIMScope & scope)

Assigns the value of one CIMScope object to another (assignment operator).

Parameters:

scope - Specifies the name of a CIMScope object that contains the values that you want to assign to another CIMScope object.

Returns:

The CIMScope object with the values of the specified CIMScope object. For example:

CIMScope s0;
CIMScope s1(s0);

The values in CIMScope s0 are assigned to the CIMScope s1 instance.

Boolean hasScope(const CIMScope & scope) const

Determines if every value in the specified CIMScope object is included in this CIMScope object.

Parameters:

scope - - Specifies a name of a CIMScope object.

Returns:

True if every value in the specified CIMScope object is included in the CIMScope object; otherwise, false.

void addScope(const CIMScope & scope)

Adds the specified scope value to the CIMScope object.

Parameters:

scope - - Specifies a scope value. For example:

CIMScope s0;
s0.addScope (CIMScope::INDICATION);
if(s0.hasScope (CIMScope::INDICATION))
...				..

Boolean equal(const CIMScope & scope) const

Compares two CIMScope objects.

Parameters:

scope - - Specifies a CIMScope object.

Returns:

True if the two CIMScope objects are equal; otherwise, false. For example,

CIMScope s0;
s0.addScope (CIMScope::CLASS + CIMScope::PARAMETER);
if(s0.hasScope (CIMScope::CLASS))
...	..

CIMScope operator+ (const CIMScope & scope) const

Combines two CIMScope objects.

Parameters:

scope - - Specifies a CIMScope object to add.

Returns:

A new CIMScope object that represents the combination of this scope object with the specified scope object.

CIMScope s0(CIMScope::CLASS);
CIMScope s1(CIMScope::PARAMETER);
CIMScope s3 = s0 + S1;

String toString() const

Returns a String representation of the CIMScope object. This method is for diagnostic purposes. The format of the output is subject to change.

static const CIMScope NONE

Indicates that the CIMScope object has no value (is uninitialized)

static const CIMScope CLASS

Indicates that the qualifier may be used with classes

static const CIMScope ASSOCIATION

Indicates that the qualifier may be used with associations

static const CIMScope INDICATION

Indicates that the qualifier may be used with indications

static const CIMScope PROPERTY

Indicates that the qualifier may be used with properties

static const CIMScope REFERENCE

Indicates that the qualifier may be used with references

static const CIMScope METHOD

Indicates that the qualifier may be used with methods

static const CIMScope PARAMETER

Indicates that the qualifier may be used with parameters

static const CIMScope ANY

Indicates that the qualifier may be used with any of the types of objects (classes, associations, indications, properties, references, methods, parameters)

This class has no child classes.
