relationship([b=boolean], [relationshipData=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
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.
