NAME

       CMCICLientFT.associatorNames() - Enumerate ObjectPaths associated with an Instance

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cmci.h>

       CMPIEnumeration*
       CMCIClientFT.associatorNames(CMCIClient*cl,
                      CMPIObjectPath*op,
                      constchar*assocClass,
                      constchar*resultClass,
                      constchar*role,
                      constchar*resultRole,
                      CMPIStatus*rc);

DESCRIPTION

       Enumerate ObjectPath references associated with the Instance defined by op reference.

       Arguments  are  the  client  object  pointer  cl, an ObjectPath object pointer op with the reference that
       contains namespace and classname components, assocClass, where if it's not NULL is an  association  class
       name  that  is  used  to filter the returned set of ObjectPath objects by eliminating objects that aren't
       associated to the source object by an instance of this class or one of its subclasses, resultClass, where
       if it's not NULL is a valid class name that is used to filter the returned set of Objects by  eliminating
       objects that aren't an Instance of this Class or one of its subclasses, role, where if it's not NULL is a
       valid  property name that is used to filter the returned set of ObjectPath objects by eliminating objects
       that aren't associated to the source object by an association where the source object plays the specified
       role, i.e. the name of the property in the association class that refers to  the  source  object  has  to
       match  the  value  of this parameter, resultRole, where if it's not NULL is a valid property name that is
       used to filter the returned set of ObjectPath objects by eliminating objects that  aren't  associated  to
       the  source object by an association where the returned object plays the specified role, i.e. the name of
       the property in the association class that refers to the returned object has to match the value  of  this
       parameter, rc which returns the operation status (suppressed when NULL).

       The  flags argument is a bit mask that can contains the following flags - CMPI_FLAG_IncludeQualifiers and
       CMPI_FLAG_IncludeClassOrigin.

RETURN VALUE

       When successful the CMCIClientFT.associatorNames() function returns a pointer to a CMPIEnumeration object
       that contains the ObjectPath objects found for the class that match the association criteria 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.
