- ============
-
- DESCRIPTION:
-
-
- This program illustrates the self-describing nature of the objects in the
- API set. Using the SmsEnum APIs it stores lists of all containers, folders,
- and filters known to the API engine.
-
- It then scans each container in the container list, displaying first of all
- information about the container, and then information about what is
- contained within the container. The following information is displayed:
-
- * the container tag and type
- * the number of filters activated by this container
- * a description of each of these filters
-
- * the number of folder types that can be container in the container
- * a description of each of these folders.
-
- The information displayed for a filter is:
- * the filter's tag and type
- * the names of the fields used by the filter's tokens
- (these will be used as the labels for edit controls in a GUI program).
-
- The information displayed for a folder is:
- * the folder's tag and type
- * filter details (as in container)
- * the number of scalars along with their names, type, and access mode
- * a recursive display of any sub-folders that can be contained within this
- folder.
