STATUS Command (ZCOM-CMD-STATUS)
and object occurrences is returned. If the name is set to the name of the distributor,
only distributor attributes are returned.
If the object type is ZCOM-OBJ-SOURCE, ZCOM-OBJ-TEXTOUT, ZCOM-OBJ-
FILTER, or ZCOM-OBJ-TARGET, and the object name is either omitted or set to (*), an
asterisk, information about all object instances is returned. To receive only information
for a particular object instance, set the object name accordingly.
These returned structures are described in STATUS Data Structure Details on
page 17-34:
ZEMS-DDL-STATUS-SOURCE
ZEMS-DDL-STATUS-TEXTOUT
ZEMS-DDL-STATUS-TARGET
ZEMS-DDL-STATUS-FILTER
ZEMS-DDL-STATUS-DIST
For ZCOM-OBJ-FILTER, the distributor returns the filter object name and the filter
name, size, and type. If available, a list of parameter tokens is attached. To retrieve the
parameter list for all filters, a STATUS * (wild-card) command can be issued. Filter
types are:

COMPILED

Basic TABLE/PASS

Basic TABLE/FAIL

Extended TABLE/PASS

Extended TABLE/FAIL

Burst filter
An extended table is a filter table that includes either pass values or header token key
word directives.
The ZEMS-DDL-STATUS-FILTER structure is a part of the programmatic interface to
support multiple filters. If more than one filter is installed, the ZEMS-DDL-STATUS-
DIST specifies the first filter in the sequence.
