attributeInfo([allAttributes=boolean], [bool=boolean], [enumerated=boolean], [hidden=boolean], [inherited=boolean], [internal=boolean], [leaf=boolean], [logicalAnd=boolean], [multi=boolean], [short=boolean], [type=string], [userInterface=boolean], [writable=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
attributeInfo is NOT undoable, NOT queryable, and
NOT editable.
This command lists all of the attributes that are marked with
certain flags. Combinations of flags may be specified and all will
be considered. (The method of combination depends on the state of
the "logicalAnd/and" flag.) When the "allAttributes/all" flag is
specified, attributes of all types will be listed.

Properties |
internal(i) |
boolean |
 |
|
Show the attributes that are marked as internal to the node.
Use the 'on' state to get internal attributes; the 'off' state to
get non-internal attributes. |
|
hidden(h) |
boolean |
|
|
Show the attributes that are marked as hidden. Use the 'on'
state to get hidden attributes; the 'off' state to get non-hidden
attributes. |
|
multi(m) |
boolean |
|
|
Show the attributes that are multis. Use the 'on' state to get
multi attributes; the 'off' state to get non-multi attributes. |
|
leaf(l) |
boolean |
|
|
Show the attributes that are complex leaves (ie. that have
parent attributes and have no children themselves). Use the 'on'
state to get leaf attributes; the 'off' state to get non-leaf
attributes. |
|
writable(w) |
boolean |
|
|
Show the attributes that are writable (ie. can have input
connections). Use the 'on' state to get writable attributes; the
'off' state to get non-writable attributes. |
|
bool(b) |
boolean |
|
|
Show the attributes that are of type boolean. Use the 'on'
state to get only boolean attributes; the 'off' state to ignore
boolean attributes. |
|
enumerated(e) |
boolean |
|
|
Show the attributes that are of type enumerated. Use the 'on'
state to get only enumerated attributes; the 'off' state to ignore
enumerated attributes. |
|
allAttributes(all) |
boolean |
|
|
Show all attributes associated with the node regardless of
type. Use of this flag overrides any other attribute type flags and
logical operation that may be specified on the command. |
|
inherited(inherited) |
boolean |
|
|
Filter the attributes based on whether they belong to the node
type directly or have been inherited from a root type (e.g.
meshShape/direct or dagObject/inherited). Use the 'on' state to get
only inherited attributes, the 'off' state to get only directly
owned attributes, and leave the flag unspecified to get both. |
|
logicalAnd(logicalAnd) |
boolean |
|
|
The default is to take the logical 'or' of the above
conditions. Specifying this flag switches to the logical 'and'
instead. |
|
short(s) |
boolean |
|
|
Show the short attribute names instead of the long names. |
|
userInterface(ui) |
boolean |
|
|
Show the UI-friendly attribute names instead of the Maya ASCII
names. Takes precedence over the -s/-short flag if both are
specified. |
|
type(t) |
string |
|
|
static node type from which to get 'affects' information |
|
| Flag can appear in Create mode of
command |
 Flag can appear in Edit mode of command |
 Flag can appear in Query mode of command |
 Flag can have multiple arguments, passed
either as a tuple or a list. |
