MOF Compiler

The Managed Object Format (MOF) is a standard text format for representing CIM data. Products developed according to the CIM specification must be able to exchange information in MOF format.

The Sun WBEM SDK software uses a MOF Compiler (mofc) to convert a MOF text file to Java classes. Internally, Sun WBEM SDK uses Java classes to represent CIM data.

The MOF language defines a syntax for defining CIM classes and instances. MOF provides developers and administrators with a simple and fast technique for modifying the CIM Object Manager Repository.
