    1.18 +// The Rights manager API gives simple access to the rights within a CAF agent implementing a DRM scheme. 
    1.19 +// The rights are represented in a generic form using the <code>ContentAccess::CRightsInfo</code> class. This simple class
    1.20 +// just holds a text description of the rights and some simple properties assocaiated with those
    1.21 +// rights.
    1.22 +// The Rights manager also allows applications to determine which content files are assocated with
    1.23 +// each Rights object and vice versa.
    1.24 +// <hr>
    1.25 +// The <code>ContentAccess::CRightsManager</code> object is created by the <code>ContentAccess::CManager</code> object to look at the rights stored by a 
    1.26 +// particular content access agent.
    1.27 +// // create the CManager object
    1.28 +// CManager* manager = CManager::NewL();
    1.29 +// //Create RPointerArray to store pointers to the agents
    1.30 +// RPointerArray <CAgent> agentArray;
    1.31 +// // Get the list of agents
    1.32 +// manager->ListAgentsL(agentArray);
    1.33 +// // Create a CRightsManager for the first agent
    1.34 +// CRightsManager *rightsManager = manager->CreateRightsManagerL(agentArray[0]);
    1.35 +// <hr>
    1.36 +// The <code>ContentAccess::CRightsManager::ListAllRightsL()</code> function produces a list of all the rights stored
