Obtaining a Bucket Inventory Rule (SDK for C)

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub.

Function

The bucket inventory function periodically generates lists of metadata information of objects in a bucket. Inventories help you better understand object statuses in the bucket. You can call this API to obtain a specific inventory rule of a bucket.
