                               CIMInstanceName

A CIM instance path (aka instance name).

A CIM instance path references a CIM instance in a namespace in a WBEM server. Namespace and WBEM server may be unknown.

This object can be used like a dictionary to retrieve the key bindings.

Method Details

init(self, classname, keybindings=None, host=None, namespace=None)
(Constructor)

Initialize the CIMInstanceName object.

Parameters:

classname (Unicode string or UTF-8 encoded byte string) - Name of the creation class of the referenced instance.
keybindings (dict or NocaseDict) - Optional: Dictionary of key bindings, specifying key properties that identify the referenced instance. The dictionary must contain one item for each key property, where:
- its key is the property name.
- its value is the property value, as a CIM typed value as described in cim_types.
If None, an empty dictionary of key bindings will be created.

Default: None.
host (Unicode string or UTF-8 encoded byte string) - Optional: URL of the WBEM server that contains the CIM namespace of this instance path.

If None, the instance path will not specify a WBEM server.

Default: None.
namespace (Unicode string or UTF-8 encoded byte string) - Optional: Name of the CIM namespace that contains the referenced instance.

If None, the instance path will not specify a CIM namespace.

Default: None.

Raises:

TypeError
ValueError

Overrides: object.__init__

str(self)
(Informal representation operator)

Return string representation of CIMClassname in readable format

Overrides: object.__str__

repr(self)
(Representation operator)

return string of CIMClassName in name=value form

Overrides: object.__repr__

has_key(self, key)

Return boolean. True if key is in keybindings
