Usage

The mi_typeid_is_collection() function determines if the data type in the type identifier that typeid_ptr references is a collection data type. Valid collection data types are SET, MULTISET, and LIST.
Important: The type identifier is an opaque structure. Do not access its value directly. To determine if a type identifier contains a collection data type, always use mi_typeid_is_collection().

MI_FALSE
The type identifier that typeid_ptr references is not a collection data type.
