Defined in packages/acs-subsite/tcl/attribute-procs.tcl

Fills in 2 arrays used for displaying attributes

Switches:

-include_storage_types (optional, defaults to "type_specific")

Parameters:

array_name (required)

The name of the array to hold the basic attribute information. The attributes defined are: * array_name(pretty_name:$name) The pretty_name of the attribute * array_name(id:$name) The attribute_id of the attribute * array_name(datatype:$name) The datatype of the attribute

enum_array_name (required)

The name of the array to hold the pretty name of the values of an enumeration. This is only used when the datatype of the attribute_name is enumeration. This array is a mapping from "$attribute_name:enum_value" to value_pretty_name.

object_type (required)

The object for which we are looking up attributes

Returns:

A list of all the names of attributes we looked up. This list can be used to iterated through the arrays:

            set attr_list [attribute::array_for_type attr_props enum_values "group"]
            foreach key $attr_list {
                set attribute_id $attr_props(id:$attribute_name)
                ...
            }
