How This Manual is Organized
In this manual, Sections 1 through 3 give background information and programming
considerations, including the following:
The architecture of TMF and how a management application fits into it (Section 1)
The types of objects managed by TMF and the operations necessary to manage
these objects (Section 1)
The kinds of events reported by TMF (Section 1)
How to set up communications with TMF, including how to start the TMFSERVE

Programming considerations for management applications that manage TMF
(Section 3)
Sections 4 through 7 provide reference information, as follows:
Subsystem-specific information about tokens, token values, and related definitions
defined by other sources (such as SPI and EMS) and used by the DSM interfaces
to TMF (Section 4)
