Environment Browser Query Target Capabilities

Queries for information on the capabilities supported by the ComputeResource associated with the EnvironmentBrowser.

If the EnvironmentBrowser is from a ComputeResource or ClusterComputeResource, the host argument can be used to return the capabilities associated with a specific host in the compute resource or cluster. If the host argument is not specified and the EnvironmentBrowser is from a ComputeResource or ClusterComputeResource, then the intersection of the capabilities supported by all the hosts in the cluster is returned. If the EnvironmentBrowser is from a VirtualMachine, the compute resource associated with the virtual machine will be queried for its capabilities.

If the EnvironmentBrowser is from a VirtualMachine a host should not be specified.
