$direction = $session->getArgDirection( $class, $operation, $argname )

The getArgDirection() function gets a flag to indicate whether the specified operation argument is an IN or OUT argument:

  • IN arguments are denoted by the value 0 and refer to argument values passed from the script to the Domain Manager.

  • OUT arguments are denoted by the value 1 and refer to variables into which the operation puts result information.

    Nearly all arguments to all operations of all classes are IN arguments.

    Note:

    OUT arguments are not supported by the remote access protocol, which is beyond the scope of the API, dmctl, and ASL.

    $direction = $session->getArgDirection(
        "Router", "getFan", "identifier" );
