Types

enum  ParameterMode  { IN, OUT, INOUT };

struct ParameterDescription {
    Identifier      name;
    RepositoryId    id;
    RepositoryId    defined_in;
    TypeCode        type;
    ParameterMode   mode;
};

The describe method, inherited from Contained, returns a ParameterDescription structure in the "value" member of the Description structure (defined in the Contained class).

Attributes

Listed below is each available attribute, with its corresponding type in parentheses, followed by a description of its purpose:

type (TypeCode)

The TypeCode that represents the type of the parameter. The TypeCode returned by the "_get_" form of the type attribute is contained in the receiving ParameterDef object, which retains ownership. Hence, the returned TypeCode should not be freed. To obtain a separate copy, use the TypeCode_copy operation. The "_set_" form of the attribute makes a private copy of the TypeCode you supply, to keep in the receiving object. You retain ownership of the passed TypeCode.

mode (ParameterMode)

The ParameterMode of the parameter (IN, OUT, or INOUT).
