Topology IDs

Topology function documentation uses a number of different kinds of IDs, as listed in the following table.

Although these IDs are all the same type, ade_id, we give them different names in the documentation according to their purpose.

Type	Name	Identifies	Used or Returned By
ade_id	clean_id	A cleanup model	tpm_clean[xx]
ade_id	elem_id	A topology element	tpm_editdelelem tpm_editmodelem tpm_elemadj tpm_elemget tpm_traceelemedit tpm_traceelemget
ade_id	iter_id	A topology iterator	tpm_iter[xx]
ade_id	overlay_id	An overlay topology	tpm_anaoverlay
ade_id	source_id	A source topology	tpm_anabuffer tpm_anadissolve tpm_anaoverlay
