/*
* TYPEDEF: SE_TRANSMITTAL
*
* Pointer to a SEDRIS transmittal. The definition of a SEDRIS transmittal
* is hidden by the implementation of this API. The user of this API simply
* passes in and receives back an SE_TRANSMITTAL for functions that deal
* with a SEDRIS transmittal.
*
* A SEDRIS transmittal is a collection of SDRM objects stored in a
* particular format (or set of formats) that can be accessed via a
* single implementation of the SEDRIS read and/or write API. Typically,
* this implies some set of media-based "files" or other units of
* allocation. A key attribute of a SEDRIS transmittal is that when
* conveyed from one location, system, or human organization, to another,
* all the parts (files, etc.) must be conveyed together in order for the
* data to be fully accessible by the software applications that invoke the
* read (or write) API implementation. It is as if all the parts must be
* considered as one physical entity. A SEDRIS transmittal may refer to
* other SEDRIS transmittals for describing the portions of its
* environmental data that are intentionally included in other SEDRIS
* transmittals.
*
* Note that a SEDRIS transmittal is distinct from a "Unified Environment".
*
* A unified environment is a logical collection of data describing a
* representation of some aspect of an environment (natural, man-made, or
* fictitious) used in a computer based application or other automated
* systems. In SEDRIS, a Unified Environment is formed from SDRM objects
* and the relationships between these objects. A complete unified
* environment may span multiple SEDRIS transmittals, via relationships
* formed using Inter-Transmittal References (ITR).
