Field descriptions
Bytes returned The number of bytes of data returned.
Bytes available The number of bytes of data available to be returned. All available
data is returned if enough space is available.
Continuation handle The handle that is returned when more data is available to
return, but the target buffer is not large enough. The handle indicates the point in
the repository that the retrieval stopped. If the handle is used on the next call to
the API (using the -again flag), the API returns more data starting at the point that
the handle indicates. This field is set to blanks when all information is returned.
