10.1 Generic Resource Objects

Generic Resource objects allow you to store information that a policy consumes. It can be any
information stored in text or XML format. A resource object is stored in a library or driver object.
An example of using a resource object is when multiple drivers need the same set of constant
parameters. The resource object stores the parameters and the drivers use these parameters at any
time.
