NAME

       MP_GetObjectType - get an object type

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lMPAPI [ library... ]
       #include <mpapi.h>

       MP_STATUS MP_GetObjectType(MP_OID oid, MP_OBJECT_TYPE *pObjectType);

PARAMETERS

       oid	      The initialized object ID to have the type determined.

       pObjectType    A  pointer  to  an object ID that has type MP_OBJECT_TYPE variable allocated by the caller. With a successful return it con-
		      tains the object type of oid.

DESCRIPTION

       The MP_GetObjectType() function gets the object type of an initialized object ID.

       This API is provided so that clients can determine the type of object an object ID represents.  This can be very useful for a client  func-
       tion that receives notifications.

RETURN VALUES

       MP_STATUS_INVALID_OBJECT_TYPE

	   The oid does not specify any valid object type. This is most likely to happen if an uninitialized object ID is passed to th e API.

       MP_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER

	   The pObjectType is null or specifies a memory area to which data cannot be written.

       MP_STATUS_SUCCESS

	   The operation is successful.
