<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">com.vmware.vapi.metadata.authentication_client</span></code> module provides classes
that expose authentication information for operation elements across all the
service elements.</p>
<p>To calculate the effective authentication information for an operation element,
you should first see if there is an authentication scheme specified for the
operation element. If it is not specified, then authentication scheme for the
service element that contains this operation element is used. If it is not
specified for the service element as well, then the authentication scheme for
the package element that contains this service element is used.</p>

from any class can figure out what kind of credentials are needed for that
API call.</p>

<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">StructureInfo</span></code> class contains the metamodel information of all the
field elements, constant elements and enumeration elements contained in the
structure element.</p>
<p>In the interface definition language, API designers have the ability to
include all the fields from one structure to another structure. This is
done by using an annotation <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">\\&#64;Include</span></code> on the structure in which we
want to add the fields. If this annotation is present, the list of fields
in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">StructureInfo</span></code> will also contain the fields that are being
included. The annotation information is also retained in the
<code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">StructureInfo.metadata</span></code> element as well.</p>
