Member Enumeration Documentation

enum vmware::vapi::metadata::metamodel::Type::BuiltinType::Values

C# enum whose values can be used in switch statements.

Ordinals have no semantic meaning (your code should not rely on them).

Enumerator:

_UNKNOWN	Special enumeration constant which is used to represent constants that do not exist in the current enum binding. For example if a client sends a new constant to an older server, the server code will see this special constant, because its enum binding lacks the new constant.
VOID	The built-in type is a void. The value is null.
BOOLEAN	The built-in type is a boolean. The value is true or false.
LONG	The built-in type is a long. The value is a 64 bit signed integer.
DOUBLE	The built-in type is a double. The value is a 64 bit floating point number.
STRING	The built-in type is a string. The value is a variable-length sequence of zero or more unicode characters.
BINARY	The built-in type is a binary. The value is a variable-length sequence of zero or more bytes.
SECRET	The built-in type is a secret. The value is a variable-length sequence of zero or more unicode characters. The value contains sensitive data that should not be printed or displayed anywhere.
DATE_TIME	The built-in type is a datetime. The value should be in the UTC timezone and the precision is milliseconds.
ID	The built-in type is an ID. The value represents an identifier for a resource.
URI	The built-in type is an URI. The value follows the IRI specification in RFC 3987.
ANY_ERROR	The built-in type is an arbitrary error type. This is used if the value of a typed element can be one of any user defined named type which is an error.
DYNAMIC_STRUCTURE	The built-in type is a dynamic structure. This is used if the value of a typed element can be one of any user defined named type.
OPAQUE	The built-in type is an opaque. This is used if the value of a typed element could be of any type and the actual type will be known only during the execution of the API. This is mostly used in infrastructure interfaces.

Member Data Documentation

readonly BuiltinType vmware::vapi::metadata::metamodel::Type::BuiltinType::ANY_ERROR = new BuiltinType("ANY_ERROR", Values.ANY_ERROR) [static]

The built-in type is an arbitrary error type.

This is used if the value of a typed element can be one of any user defined named type which is an error.

readonly BuiltinType vmware::vapi::metadata::metamodel::Type::BuiltinType::BINARY = new BuiltinType("BINARY", Values.BINARY) [static]

The built-in type is a binary.

The value is a variable-length sequence of zero or more bytes.

readonly BuiltinType vmware::vapi::metadata::metamodel::Type::BuiltinType::BOOLEAN = new BuiltinType("BOOLEAN", Values.BOOLEAN) [static]

The built-in type is a boolean.

The value is true or false.

readonly BuiltinType vmware::vapi::metadata::metamodel::Type::BuiltinType::DATE_TIME = new BuiltinType("DATE_TIME", Values.DATE_TIME) [static]

The built-in type is a datetime.

The value should be in the UTC timezone and the precision is milliseconds.

readonly BuiltinType vmware::vapi::metadata::metamodel::Type::BuiltinType::DOUBLE = new BuiltinType("DOUBLE", Values.DOUBLE) [static]

The built-in type is a double.

The value is a 64 bit floating point number.

readonly BuiltinType vmware::vapi::metadata::metamodel::Type::BuiltinType::DYNAMIC_STRUCTURE = new BuiltinType("DYNAMIC_STRUCTURE", Values.DYNAMIC_STRUCTURE) [static]

The built-in type is a dynamic structure.

This is used if the value of a typed element can be one of any user defined named type.

readonly BuiltinType vmware::vapi::metadata::metamodel::Type::BuiltinType::ID = new BuiltinType("ID", Values.ID) [static]

The built-in type is an ID.

The value represents an identifier for a resource.

readonly BuiltinType vmware::vapi::metadata::metamodel::Type::BuiltinType::LONG = new BuiltinType("LONG", Values.LONG) [static]

The built-in type is a long.

The value is a 64 bit signed integer.

The built-in type is an opaque.

This is used if the value of a typed element could be of any type and the actual type will be known only during the execution of the API. This is mostly used in infrastructure interfaces.

readonly BuiltinType vmware::vapi::metadata::metamodel::Type::BuiltinType::SECRET = new BuiltinType("SECRET", Values.SECRET) [static]

The built-in type is a secret.

The value is a variable-length sequence of zero or more unicode characters. The value contains sensitive data that should not be printed or displayed anywhere.

The built-in type is an URI.

The value follows the IRI specification in RFC 3987.

readonly BuiltinType vmware::vapi::metadata::metamodel::Type::BuiltinType::VOID = new BuiltinType("VOID", Values.VOID) [static]

The built-in type is a void.

The value is null.
