Software Development Kit (SDK) and API Discussions

Where do I find the docs for the actual server API like file-read-file and volume-list-info?

Hi All,

 

I am a beginner of netapp SDK, so my first question is very basic. After I downloaded the netapp manageability sdk 5.5 and read through SDK_help.htm, I cannot find the detailed documentation for the actual API calls to the server.

 

For example, I am using C/C++, and I would like to know the input/output data format of 'file-read-file' and 'volume-list-info'. All I can do right now is to infer from the sample code in apitest.c or vollist.c.

 

I am attaching a screenshot of the help document's appearance in my browser. All I can find are only the 'na_*_*' core apis. So if possible please show me where should I go or give me a pointer.

 

Thank you very much in advance.

 

Zheng

You probably want this: Reference Manual for ONTAP 9.0 APIs

Another good source of help is ZEDI or ZExplore Devolpment Interface, which also displays the help to every api call/option
