This topic introduces the sec_attr_schema_t data type used by the calls that create and update attribute instances and then describes the calls that create, modify, delete, and read attribute instances. For all calls, the object whose attributes should be accessed is identified by name and by the domain in which the object exists. (The domain parameter is ignored for the Policy and the Replist objects.) Registry domains are described in The Registry API.
