    [ -table table ] [ -column column ] [ -column_value column_value ] \
    object_type

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

Generates the list of attributes for this object type. Each element in the list is (table_name, column_name, default_value, column_value) where default_value and column_value are optional. Note that if either of table_name, id_column is unspecified, we retrieve the values for both from the acs_object_types table

Switches:

-supertype

(optional)

The supertype of the object we are creating. If specified, along with object_name, we lookup the parameters to supertype.object_name and include any missing parameters in our argument list.

-object_name

(optional)

The name of the function / procedure we are creating. See supertype for explanation.

-limit_to

(optional)

If empty, this argument is ignored. Otherwise, it is a list of all the columns to be included in the attribute list. Any attribute whose column_name is not in this list is then ignored.

-table

(optional)

The table_name for this object_type (from the acs_object_types tables)

-column

(optional)

The id_column for this object_type (from the acs_object_types tables)

-column_value

(optional)

The value for this column in the present calling function. Useful when you are calling supertype function and need to refer to the supertype argument by a different name locally.

Parameters:

object_type - The object type for which we are generating attributes
