+		
+VENDOR_BY_ID : (parent = dictionary) returns list of vendors ordered by ID

+  ** for these two lists, the Vendor with id 0 and applciation with id 0 are excluded. 
+     You must resolve them separatly with dict_search.

+TYPE_BY_NAME : (parent = dictionary) returns list of types ordered by name
+ENUMVAL_BY_NAME : (parent = type object) return list of constants for this type ordered by name
+ENUMVAL_BY_VALUE : (parent = type object) return list of constants for this type ordered by values
+AVP_BY_NAME : (parent = vendor object) return list of AVP for this vendor ordered by name

+CMD_BY_NAME : (parent = dictionary) returns list of commands ordered by name
+CMD_BY_CODE_R : (parent = dictionary) returns list of commands ordered by code
+RULE_BY_AVP_AND_PARENT: (parent = command or grouped AVP object) return list of rules for this object ordered by AVP vendor/code
