Every .MIF file must contain a standard group with ID 1. This group offers baselevel identification of the component and represents the minimum amount of information, which a component vendor should provide. An attribute, which is not supported or has no meaning for a given component should give the keyword unsupported as its value.
The ComponentID. "DMTF|ComponentID|1.0" is the class string. The attributes in the group are all read-only. Their definitions are mentioned in the following table:
|
