AERecord

Header: AEDataModel.h

A descriptor record whose data is a list of keyword-specified descriptor records.

typedef AEDescList AERecord;

The data for an AE record refers to a list of keyword-specified descriptor records. The Apple Event Manager provides routines that allow your application to create AE records and extract data from them when creating or responding to Apple events. You also work with AE records if your application resolves or creates object specifier records. Functions that use AE records are described in “Getting Information from an AE Record or an Apple Event Record” and “Adding Data and Descriptor Records to an AE Record or an Apple Event Record”.

The descriptor list of keyword-specified descriptor records in an AE record must specify Apple event parameters—they cannot specify Apple event attributes.
