sam.getFileDescendants()

Just having some fun...
This is the python interface to the command 'sam get file descendants'.
Command Description:

Return a list of all descendants of the specified file,
filtered to a particular dataTier, appName, appVersion, and/or
range of creation dates.


Python Usage:
	from Sam import sam
	result = sam.getFileDescendants(...)

Return value: SamStruct.DataFilePhysicalAttributesList.DataFilePhysicalAttributesList

Arguments are passed as keyword-value pairs, as in:
	 myfunc(arg1='myarg', arg2='anotherarg', d=1)

Argument Keyword Description:
	(*) indicates that this keyword is required
	>>> indicates that either the API object or the CLI equivalent (<<<) is required

    after                      SamTime              if specified, filter the output to include only files produced after this date
    appName                    string               if specified, filter the output to include only files produced by this appName
    appVersion                 string               if specified, filter the output to include only files produced by this appVersion
    before                     SamTime              if specified, filter the output to include only files produced before this date
    c                          SamBoolean           automatically close all servants after each method call
    corbaCallTimeout           int                  time in seconds for CORBA method calls to return before timing out (default: 0; zero implies no timeout)

    dataTier                   string               if specified, filter the output to include only files in this dataTier
    fileId                     long                 DB-assigned ID number of the file of interest
    fileName                   string               name of the data file for which you wish to get the list of descendants
    retryInterval              int                  retry interval base in seconds; will multiply this base times retryCount (default: 5)
    retryJitter                int                  retry jitter, random jitter added to base retry interval times retryCount (default: 5)
    retryMaxCount              int                  number of times to retry CORBA calls for retriable exceptions (default: 25; zero implies no retries)
    s                          SamBoolean           retrySilently mode (do not issue messages to stderr on proxy retries)
    t                          SamBoolean           time-it mode (print additional info on timings)
    v                          SamBoolean           verbose mode
