            CIMInstanceName

A CIM instance path (aka instance name).

A CIM instance path references a CIM instance in a namespace in a WBEM server. Namespace and WBEM server may be unknown.

This object can be used like a dictionary to retrieve the key bindings.

Method Details

### __init__(self, classname, keybindings=None, host=None, namespace=None) (Constructor) | source code
Initialize the CIMInstanceName object. Parameters: `classname` (`unicode` or UTF-8 encoded `str`) - Name of the creation class of the referenced instance. `keybindings` (`dict` or NocaseDict) - Optional: Dictionary of key bindings, specifying key properties that identify the referenced instance. The dictionary must contain one item for each key property, where: its key is the property name. its value is the property value, as a CIM typed value as described in cim_types. If `None`, an empty dictionary of key bindings will be created. Default: `None`. `host` (`unicode` or UTF-8 encoded `str`) - Optional: URL of the WBEM server that contains the CIM namespace of this instance path. If `None`, the instance path will not specify a WBEM server. Default: `None`. `namespace` (`unicode` or UTF-8 encoded `str`) - Optional: Name of the CIM namespace that contains the referenced instance. If `None`, the instance path will not specify a CIM namespace. Default: `None`. Raises: `TypeError` `ValueError` Overrides: object.__init__

### __str__(self) (Informal representation operator) | source code
str(x) Overrides: object.__str__ (inherited documentation)

### __repr__(self) (Representation operator) | source code
repr(x) Overrides: object.__repr__ (inherited documentation)
