VS_
Expression_
Create
VS_Expression_Create allocates a VolServ API
expression handle. An expression handle is used to pass
expression information to and from VolServ.
An expression handle has three parts: a relation operator (=, >,
<, >=, <=, <>), a connective option (and/or/none), and a
comparison value. A criteria handle uses expression handles to
build the comparison function when using mount-by-selection
criteria.
