The Management Interface initialization functions enable you to register management applications to the Service Provider. You may also retrieve information about the Service Provider, get and set
session configuration information for your session.
The DmiGetConfig() function retrieves the per-session configuration information. The configuration information consists of a string describing the current language being used
for the session. The argin parameter is an instance of a DmiGetConfigIN structure containing the following member:
|
DmiHandle_t handle; /* an open session handle */
|
The result parameter is a pointer to a DmiGetConfigOUT structure containing the following members:
|
DmiErrorStatus_t error_status;
DmiString_t *language; /* current session language */
|
The DmiGetVersion() function retrieves information about the Service Provider. The management application uses the DmiGetVersion() procedure to determine the
DMI specification level supported by the Service Provider. This procedure also returns the service provided description string, and may contain version information about the Service Provider implementation.
The argin parameter is an instance of a DmiGetVersionIN structure containing the following member:
|
DmiHandle_t handle; /* an open session handle */
|
The result parameter is a pointer to a DmiGetVersionOUT structure containing the following members:
|
DmiErrorStatus_t error_status;
DmiString_t *dmiSpecLevel; /* DMI specification version */
DmiString_t *description; /* OS specific DMI SP version */
DmiFileTypeList_t *fileTypes; /* file types for MIF installation */
|
The DmiRegister() function provides the management application with a unique per-session handle. The Service Provider uses this procedure to initialize to an internal state for
subsequent procedure calls made by the application. This procedure must be the first command executed by the management application. argin is an instance of a DmiRegisterIN structure containing the following member:
|
DmiHandle_t handle; /* an open session handle */
|
The result parameter is a pointer to a DmiRegisterOUT structure containing the following members:
|
DmiErrorStatus_t error_status;
DmiHandle_t *handle; /* an open session handle */
|
The DmiSetConfig() function sets the per-session configuration information. The configuration information consists of a string describing the language required by the management
application. The argin parameter is an instance of a DmiSetConfigIN structure containing the following member:
|
DmiHandle_t handle; /* an open session handle */
DmiString_t *language; /* current language required */
|
The result parameter is a pointer to a DmiSetConfigOUT structure containing the following member:
|
DmiErrorStatus_t error_status;
|
The DmiUnregister() function is used by the Service Provider to perform end-of-session cleanup actions. On return from this function, the session handle is no longer valid. This
function must be the last DMI command executed by the management application. The argin parameter is an instance of a DmiUnregisterIN structure containing the
following member:
|
DmiHandle_t handle; /* an open session handle */
|
The result parameter is a pointer to a DmiUnregisterOUT structure containing the following members:
|
DmiErrorStatus_t error_status;
|
