## Overview

The ``Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::ElementValue::Type`` enumerated type defines the valid types for values in metadata elements.

## Constant Summary

LONG =

      Type.new('LONG')

STRING =

      Type.new('STRING')

STRING_LIST =

      Type.new('STRING_LIST')

STRUCTURE_REFERENCE =

      Type.new('STRUCTURE_REFERENCE')

STRUCTURE_REFERENCE_LIST =

      Type.new('STRUCTURE_REFERENCE_LIST')

## Instance Attribute Summary (collapse)

- - (Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::ElementValue::Type) long

  Indicates the type of the value is a long (64 bit signed integer).

- - (Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::ElementValue::Type) string

  Indicates the type of the value is a string (a variable length sequence of characters).

- - (Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::ElementValue::Type) string_list

  Indicates the type of the value is a list of strings.

- - (Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::ElementValue::Type) structure_reference

  Indicates the type of the value is an identifier for a structure element.

- - (Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Metamodel::ElementValue::Type) structure_reference_list

  Indicates the type of the value is a list of identifiers for a structure element.

## Class Method Summary (collapse)

- + (VAPI::Bindings::EnumType) binding_type

  Holds (gets or creates) the binding type metadata for this enumeration type.

- + (Type) from_string(value)

  Converts from a string value (perhaps off the wire) to an instance of this enum type.
