($type, $value) = $session->getf_t( $object, $property, $freshness )

Like getf(), the getf_t() function returns the contents of the specified property but getf_t() also returns a code for the type of the data. The section “$freshness” on page 73 provides additional information.

The returned value will be a scalar or array reference, as appropriate.

( $type, $value ) =
  $session->getf_t( "Router::gw1", "Vendor", 240 );
( $type, $value ) =
  $session->getf_t("Router::gw1", "ComposedOf", 360);
