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.view.View
|
|
=============
|
|
`View`_ is the base class for session-specific view objects. A view is a mechanism that supports selection of objects on the server and subsequently, access to those objects. To create a view, use the `ViewManager`_ methods. A view exists until you terminate it by calling the `DestroyView`_ method, or until the end of the session. Access to a view is limited to the session in which it is created.There are three types of views:
|
|
*
|
|
* `ContainerView`_
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
* `ListView`_
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
* `InventoryView`_
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
* A view maintains a
|
|
* `view`_
|
|
* list that contains managed object references. You can use a view with the
|
|
* `PropertyCollector`_
|
|
* to retrieve data and obtain notification of changes to the virtual environment. For information about using views with the PropertyCollector, see the description of
|
|
* `ViewManager`_
|
|
* .
