Prints type-specific information about operators.
Usages
optype [-N] [-t] [-e] [-n] [-s] [-i] [-T] [-o] op_name
If you don’t specify any options, the command prints all information in a human-readable format. If you specify one or more options, the command prints only the values for those options.
Options
-N
| The name of the node, likely same as opname. |
-t
| The operator type of the node. For example, /obj/model will usually be type “geo”. |
-e
| The label of the type. An op of type “geo” will usually have the label “Geometry”. Be careful as this label may contain spaces. |
-n
| The network type of the node. In the case of /obj/model this would be “OBJ”. Possible return types are: OBJ, SOP, PART, POP, MAT, TOP, CHOPNET, CHOP, ROP, SHOP, COP2, IMG, VOP, VOPNET, MGR, and DIR. |
-s
| The script directory of the optype. This is used internally to locate some files related to the operator. Possible values are: obj, sop, part, pop, mat, top, ch, chop, out, shop, img, cop2, vop, vex, mgr, and dir. |
-i
| The index of the network type. This is a number which is unique for each of the network types. It can be used to index into a table, for example. However, the mapping of network types (-n) to indices (-i) is not guaranteed to be consistent between Houdini versions. |
-T
| The table name of the network type. This matches the table names used by other commands. Possible values are: Object, Sop, Particle, Pop, Material, Texture, ChopNet, Chop, Driver, Shop, Cop2, CopNet, Vop, VopNet, Manager, and Director. |
-o
| The table name and operator name, separated by a “/”. This is the format required for most operator type commands such as otwrite and otdelete. |
