1. A method of implementing a collection program interface for accessing a collection of data associated with a legacy enumeration application program interface, the method comprising:

  • retrieving a first set of at least one data element from the collection of data and storing the retrieved first set of at least one data element in a vector in response to receiving an initial first call on the collection application program interface;

    comparing a first positional cursor to a size of the vector in response to receiving a second call on the collection application program interface subsequent to receiving the initial first call on the collection application program interface;

    retrieving a second set of at least one data element from the collection of data and storing the retrieved second set of at least one data element in the vector in response to the first positional cursor being equal to or greater than the size of the vector; and

    retrieving the first set of at least one data element from the vector in response to the first positional cursor being less than the size of the vector.
