Initializes the object with the specified zero-terminated array p of property_info. Passing true in free_on_delete instructs the object to free the memory associated with the property_info when the object is destroyed. BPropertyInfo does not copy the array, so it is important that the array is not deleted or otherwise destroyed while the BPropertyInfo is in use.

If free_on_delete is set to true in the constructor, the destructor frees all memory associated with the property_info. Otherwise, it does nothing.

See BFlattenable::AllowsTypeCode().

Passed a property name in prop, a specifier in form, and a command in msg->what, searches the property_info array for an item supporting the specified scripting request. If index is nonzero, then FindMatch() only searches those property_info structures with the wildcard command (first element of command array equal to 0). Otherwise, it searches through all available property_info structures for a match. If a match is found, it fills the memory at data with the contents of the extra_data field of the match and returns the index of the match in the array. Otherwise, it returns B_ERROR.

Prints information about the BPropertyInfo to standard output.

Returns the property_info list associated with the object.
