listConnections([connections=boolean], [destination=boolean], [exactType=boolean], [plugs=boolean], [shapes=boolean], [skipConversionNodes=boolean], [source=boolean], [type=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
listConnections is NOT undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.
This command returns a list of all attributes/objects of
a specified type that are connected to the given object(s).
If no objects are specified then the command lists the connections
on selected nodes.

Properties |
connections(c)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If true, return both attributes involved in the connection. The one
on the specified object is given first. Default false.
|
|
destination(d)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Give the attributes/objects that are on the "destination" side of
connection to the given object. Default true.
|
|
exactType(et)
|
boolean
|
|
|
When set to true, -t/type only considers node of this exact
type. Otherwise, derived types are also taken into account.
|
|
plugs(p)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If true, return the connected attribute names; if false, return the
connected object names only. Default false;
|
|
shapes(sh)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Actually return the shape name instead of the transform when the
shape is "selected". Default false.
|
|
skipConversionNodes(scn)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If true, skip over unit conversion nodes and return the
node connected to the conversion node on the other side. Default false.
|
|
source(s)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Give the attributes/objects that are on the "source" side of
connection to the given object. Default true.
|
|
type(t)
|
string
|
|
|
If specified, only take objects of a specified type.
