Environment Browser Query Config Option Ex
Query for a virtual machine configuration option matching the key or host or both given in the EnvironmentBrowserConfigOptionQuerySpec.
For more details see QueryConfigOption
If the Environment Browser belongs to a virtual machine and the spec argument is omitted, the method returns the ConfigOption object corresponding to the vmx version of the virutal machine and the guestOSDescriptor list contains only the guestId of the virutal machine.
