Details

Every object corresponding to the query is referred by its id. gmGet delivers a list consisting of a data frame info and another list sets. In info the values of all atomic members for every found object are stated. sets consists of data frames, called after the composite member variables, stating the object id and the id of the member object. Since these members are sets, it is possible that the data frames consist of several member objects for one referred object.

If you are interested in information on a certain variable but not the content of variables of this kind, use gmGetVar instead.

Value
