2.2.16 ClassHeader

  • Article

ClassHeader contains various details on the CIM class block. 

 ClassHeader = EncodingLength ReservedOctet ClassNameRef NdTableValueTableLength 
 

The EncodingLength (section 2.2.73) field applies to the ClassPart as a whole, not just the ClassHeader. The ReservedOctet (section 2.2.76) octet is not used and MUST be zero. The ClassNameRef (section 2.2.19) contains a reference to the string that is the name of the current CIM class. The NdTableValueTableLength (section 2.2.28) is sum of the lengths, in octets, of the encoded "ClassPart::NdTable" and "ClassPart::ValueTable" blocks.
