wbemcli.h header

This header is used by multiple technologies. For more information, see:

wbemcli.h contains the following programming interfaces:

Interfaces

 
IEnumWbemClassObject

The IEnumWbemClassObject interface is used to enumerate Common Information Model (CIM) objects and is similar to a standard COM enumerator.
IMofCompiler

The IMofCompiler interface, implemented by Mofd.dll, provides a COM interface that is used by the Managed Object Format (MOF) compiler and any other applications that compile MOF files.
IUnsecuredApartment

The IUnsecuredApartment interface is used to simplify the process of making asynchronous calls from a client process.
IWbemBackupRestore

The IWbemBackupRestore interface backs up and restores the contents of the WMI repository.
IWbemBackupRestoreEx

The IWbemBackupRestoreEx interface backs up and restores the contents of the repository.
IWbemCallResult

Used for semisynchronous calls of the IWbemServices interface. When making such calls, the called IWbemServices method returns immediately, along with an IWbemCallResult object.
IWbemClassObject

Contains and manipulates both class definitions and class object instances.
IWbemConfigureRefresher

The IWbemConfigureRefresher interface is used by client code to add enumerators, objects, and nested refreshers into a refresher.
IWbemContext

The IWbemContext interface is optionally used to communicate additional context information to providers when submitting IWbemServices calls to WMI. All primary calls in IWbemServices take an optional parameter pointing to an object of this type.
IWbemHiPerfEnum

Used in refresher operations to provide rapid access to enumerations of instance objects.
IWbemLocator

Use the IWbemLocator interface to obtain the initial namespace pointer to the IWbemServices interface for WMI on a specific host computer.
IWbemObjectAccess

Provides access to the methods and properties of an object.
IWbemObjectSink

The IWbemObjectSink interface creates a sink interface that can receive all types of notifications within the WMI programming model.
IWbemObjectSinkEx

Creates a sink interface that can receive all types of notifications within the WMI programming model.
IWbemObjectTextSrc

The IWbemObjectTextSrc interface is used to translate IWbemClassObject instances to and from differing text formats.
IWbemQualifierSet

Acts as a container for the entire set of named qualifiers for a single property or entire object (a class or instance).
IWbemRefresher

Provides an entry point through which refreshable objects such as enumerators or refresher objects, can be refreshed.
IWbemServices

Used by clients and providers to access WMI services. The interface is implemented by WMI and WMI providers, and is the primary WMI interface.
IWbemShutdown

The IWbemShutdown interface indicates to the provider that an instance of an object is ready to be discarded. The provider can use this call to release resources that it is referencing currently.
IWbemStatusCodeText

The IWbemStatusCodeText interface extracts text string descriptions of error codes or the name of the subsystem where the error occurred.
IWbemUnsecuredApartment

Allows client applications to determine whether Unsecapp.exe performs access checks on asynchronous callbacks.

Structures

 
WBEM_COMPILE_STATUS_INFO

Describes an error for the IMofCompiler interface.

Enumerations

 
CIMTYPE_ENUMERATION

Defines values that specify different CIM data types.
WBEM_BACKUP_RESTORE_FLAGS

Contains flags used for the IWbemBackupRestore::Restore method and the IWbemBackupRestoreEx::Restore method.
WBEM_CHANGE_FLAG_TYPE

Contains method parameter flags.
WBEM_COMPARISON_FLAG

Contains flags that define the comparison to perform when using the IWbemClassObject::CompareTo method.
WBEM_COMPILER_OPTIONS

Contains option flags for IMofCompiler methods.
WBEM_CONDITION_FLAG_TYPE

Contains flags used with the IWbemClassObject::GetNames method.
WBEM_CONNECT_OPTIONS

Contains flags for the IWbemLocator::ConnectServer method.
WBEM_FLAVOR_TYPE

Lists qualifier flavors.
WBEM_GENERIC_FLAG_TYPE

Contains general-purpose method parameter flags.
WBEM_GENUS_TYPE

Contains constants used to distinguish between classes and instances.
WBEM_LIMITS

Defines some limit values.
WBEM_QUERY_FLAG_TYPE

Contains flags used to define a query or enumerator.
WBEM_REFRESHER_FLAGS

Contains flags that modify the behavior of refresher methods.
WBEM_SECURITY_FLAGS

Contains flags used for setting security access levels.
WBEM_STATUS_TYPE

Describes the status of an asynchronous operation.
WBEM_TEXT_FLAG_TYPE

Contains flags to control the execution of the IWbemClassObject::GetObjectText method.
WBEM_TIMEOUT_TYPE

Contains values used to specify the timeout for the IEnumWbemClassObject::Next method.
WBEM_UNSECAPP_FLAG_TYPE

Used to control access checks on callbacks when using the IWbemUnsecuredApartment::CreateSinkStub method.
WBEMSTATUS

Contains error and status codes returned by methods in the WMI API.
WMI_OBJ_TEXT

Defines the valid object text formats to be used by SWbemObjectEx.GetText_.
