vmodl.query.PropertyCollector.RetrieveOptions
=============================================
  Options for `RetrievePropertiesEx`_ .
:extends: vmodl.DynamicData_
:since: `vSphere API 4.1`_

Attributes:
    maxObjects (`int`_, optional):

       The maximum number of `ObjectContent`_ data objects that should be returned in a single result from `RetrievePropertiesEx`_ .An unset value indicates that there is no maximum. In this case `PropertyCollector`_ policy may still limit the number of objects. Any remaining objects may be retrieved with `ContinueRetrievePropertiesEx`_ .A positive value causes `RetrievePropertiesEx`_ to suspend the retrieval when the count of objects reaches the specified maximum. `PropertyCollector`_ policy may still limit the count to something less than `maxObjects`_ . Any remaining objects may be retrieved with `ContinueRetrievePropertiesEx`_ .A value less than or equal to 0 is illegal.
