    254254#   type: type of object to be updated

    265266# Deletes an object instance specified by URN
    266267# Only a single object can be deleted from a single update call.
    267 # Note: not all objects can be deleted. In general, it is a matter of authority policy.

    269271# Arguments:
     
    280282# Lookup requested details for objects matching ‘match’ options.
    281283# This call takes a set of ‘match’ criteria provided in the ‘options’ field,
    282 # and returns a dictionary of dictionaries of object attributes keyed by object URN matching these criteria.
    283 # If a ‘filter’ option is provided, only those attributes listed in the ‘filter’ options are returned.
    284 # The requirements on match criteria supported by a given service are service-specific;
    285 # however it is recommended that policies restrict lookup calls to requests that are bounded
     284# and returns a dictionary of dictionaries of object attributes
     285# keyed by object URN matching these criteria.
     286# If a ‘filter’ option is provided, only those attributes listed in the ‘filter’
     287# options are returned.
     288# The requirements on match criteria supported by a given service
     289# are service-specific; however it is recommended that policies
     290# restrict lookup calls to requests that are bounded
    286291# to particular sets of explicitly listed objects (and not open-ended queries).

    302307Some additional details on the lookup call:
    303308
    304 The options argument to the lookup_* call is a dictionary. It contains an entry with key ‘match’ that contains a dictionary of name/value pairs. The names are of fields listed in the get_version for that object. The values are values for those fields to be matched. The semantics of the match is to be an “AND” (all fields must match).
     309The options argument to the lookup call is a dictionary. It contains an entry with key ‘match’ that contains a dictionary of name/value pairs. The names are of fields listed in the get_version for that object. The values are values for those fields to be matched. The semantics of the match is to be an “AND” (all fields must match).
    305310
    306311The value in the dictionary of a ‘match’ option can be a list of scalars, indicating an “OR”. For example, a list of URNs provided to the SLICE_URN key would match any slice with any of the listed URNs.
