<p><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p>The <code>GetInfo</code> method retrieves information about
a <a href="GUID-B796D072-4E51-4BC7-9259-84530DB3539D.html#GUID-B796D072-4E51-4BC7-9259-84530DB3539D">system attribute</a>.</p>
<p>This method can be called both synchronously and asynchronously.</p>
<p><strong>Syntax:</strong></p>
<p>For synchronous calls:</p>

<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-07D6C447-4280-4446-BE54-EB872ECE0D86">result = so.ISysInfo.GetInfo(criteria);</pre>
<p>For asynchronous calls:</p>

<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-4D27D2E3-3BE1-4ACB-802B-A4F50150E52B">result = so.ISysInfo.GetInfo(criteria, callback);</pre>
<p><strong>Arguments:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>criteria</code>:</p>

<p>This is an object that specifies the system attribute about which to
retrieve information. For more information about the object properties and
how to define them, see section <a href="GUID-D14E0D5C-2D99-41C8-8857-455409065500.html#GUID-D14E0D5C-2D99-41C8-8857-455409065500">Criteria for retrieving system attribute information</a>.</p>

</li>
<li><p><code>callback</code>:</p>

<p>The <code>callback</code> argument is the name of the method
that is executed when an asynchronous <code>GetInfo</code> call has
results or status information to return. You must define this method separately.
Follow the instructions in section <a href="GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608.html#GUID-C7C3B541-8D28-4DC6-9003-ECF57F26C608">Defining the callback handler for an asynchronous method</a> to
define the <code>callback</code> method.</p>
<p>This argument is used only with an asynchronous <code>GetInfo</code> call.</p>

</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Return value:</strong></p>
<p>If synchronous, the <code>GetInfo</code> method returns an object
that contains the requested system attribute information, an error code, and
an error message.</p>

object that contains the initial return value for the asynchronous call it
started (see the following table). The actual system attribute information
