DmiErrorStatus_t DMI_API DmiGetMultiple ( DmiHandle_t handle, DmiMultiRowRequest_t * request, DmiMultiRowData_t ** rowData );

Description

The DmiGetMultiple function retrieves attribute values from the DMI Service Provider. This command may get the value for an individual attribute, or for multiple attributes across groups, components, or rows of a table.

The request array specifies the attribute values requested by the management application. Each element of the array specifies a component, group, request mode, key list (for table accesses), and attribute list to retrieve. The key list is omitted (NULL pointer value) for scalar groups. If the attribute list is omitted, the service provider returns all attributes in the group or table row. The requestMode specifier allows the management application to request the first, next, or specific attribute value.

The rowData array contains the reply from the DMI Service Provider. The structure of this reply is identical to that of the original request, with the same number of elements that were in the request array.
