relationship [-break] [-relationshipData
string]
relationship is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This is primarily for use with file IO. Rather than write out the
specific attributes/connections required to maintain a
relationship, a description of the related nodes/plugs is written
instead. The relationship must have an owner node, and have a
specific type. During file read, maya will make the connections
and/or set the data necessary to represent the realtionship in the
dependency graph.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
