NAME
       CMCIClientFT.references() - Enumerate association instances for a class instance

SYNOPSIS
       #include <cmci.h>

       CMPIEnumeration*
       CMCIClientFT.references(CMCIClient*cl,
		      CMPIObjectPath*op,
		      constchar*resultClass,
		      constchar*role,
		      CMPIFlagsflags,
		      char**properties,
		      CMPIStatus*rc);

DESCRIPTION
       Enumerate association instances that refer to the Instance defined by the op reference.

       Arguments are the client object pointer cl, an ObjectPath object pointer op with the reference that contains namespace and classname compo-
       nents, resultClass, where if it's not NULL is a valid class name that is used to filter the returned set of Objects by eliminating  objects
       that  aren't an Instance of this Class or one of its subclasses, role, where if it's not NULL is a valid property name that is used to fil-
       ter the returned set of instance objects by eliminating objects that aren't associated to the source object by  an  association	where  the
       source  object  plays  the  specified  role, i.e. the name of the property in the association class that refers to the source object has to
       match the value of this parameter, flags that affect the content of the returned class instance structures,  a  properties  array,  and	rc
       which returns the operation status (suppressed when NULL).

       The flags argument is a bit mask that can contains the following flags - CMPI_FLAG_IncludeQualifiers and CMPI_FLAG_IncludeClassOrigin.

RETURN VALUE
       When  successful  the  CMCIClientFT.references() function returns a pointer to a CMPIEnumeration object that contains the class association
       instance objects found that match the association criteria, and sets a successful operation  status  code  in  rc.   When  unsuccessful	it
       returns a NULL pointer and sets the operation status error code and corresponding error string in rc.
