This external documentation for pyVmomi was generated using Googly Docs (aka Google Standard Documentation) which renders very cleanly in GitHub. Internal documentation for a class should be done in Sphinx format because tools like pyCharm and Eclipse can use that documentation as a hint for code completion. Note: External docs as Googly Docs, internal docs as Sphinx. Closes bug#15

vim.ServiceManager
|
|
==================
|
|
The ServiceManager managed object is a singleton object that is used to present services that are optional and not necessarily formally defined. This directory makes available a list of such services and provides an easy way to locate them. The service being represented can take arbitrary form here and is thus represented by a generic ManagedObject. The expectation is that the client side is knowledgeable of the instance type of the specific service it is interested in using.
