Document Conventions for the Scripting API

The Scripting API for WMI reference uses the following document conventions:

  • Parameter types are defined using a prefix: b (Boolean), str (string), I (integer), obj (Automation object), var (Variant).
  • Optional parameters are placed in square brackets with their default values shown by assignment.
  • In the case of object parameters, the characters after the "obj" prefix indicate the type of object expected.
