Component Interface Functions
Component Provider Functions
Component Provider Functions
These functions are the entry points into the component
instrumentation that the SP calls to get or set attribute values, or to
add or delete whole rows of information from the MIF database.
All of the Component Provider Functions for the Direct Interface
Component Instrumentation example reside in the source file
/usr/dmi/examples/ci/systemExample/ci_cpfc.c. Similarly, all of the
Component Provider Functions for the Overlay Interface Component
Instrumentation example reside in the source file
/usr/dmi/examples/oi/names.c.
There are two types of functions for calling component instrumentation
within the Component Provider Functions. The first type lends itself to
getting and setting attribute values for single attributes in a group.
These functions can be applied to either scalar or tabular data.

CiGetAttribute()
Corresponds directly to the Management Interface call
DmiGetAttribute(). Gets the value of a single attribute within a group.
