Introduction to the DCE Attribute Interface routines
Description
The DCE Attribute Interface API allows applications to define and access attributes types (schema entries) in a schema of your choice. It is based on the Extended
Registry Attribute (ERA) interface, which defines and accesses attribute types in the registry database schema. Except for the binding methods, the two APIs are similar.
Note however, that the Extended Registry Attribute API provides routines to create attribute types in the registry schema, to create and manipulate attribute instances, and to attach those instances to objects. The DCE Attribute Interface in its current state provides calls only to create attribute types.
