For a complete list of supported keys per entity, see the Key column of the tables in section Supported system attributes (entities and keys).

[criteria.SystemData]

Specifies the value of the system attribute.

Some system attributes require this property as input for GetInfo. To find out which attributes, see the Input column of the tables in section Supported system attributes (entities and keys).

The SystemData object always has a single property, which represents the system attribute value. The type and content of the property depend on the system attribute (specifically, on the system data type used for input).

Typically, the property contains status information represented by a number or string. The property can also be an object for representing more complex values, such as drive information.

For more information about system attribute values, see section Supported system attributes (entities and keys).

object

The object property depends on the system attribute. See the Input column cell for the appropriate system attribute in section Supported system attributes (entities and keys).

For example, the Memory - DriveInfo system attribute takes DriveInfo (object) as input for GetInfo:

SystemData.DriveInfo.Drive = "C:\\"
