hw_api->checkout -- Checks out an object
Description
object 
checkout ( array parameter)
     This function checks out an object or a whole hiearchie of objects.
     The parameters array contains the required element
     'objectIdentifier' and the optional element 'version', 'mode'
     and 'objectQuery'. 'mode' can be one of the following values:
     
- HW_API_CHECKIN_NORMAL
- 
         Checks out an object. The object must be a document.
         
- HW_API_CHECKIN_RECURSIVE
- 
         If the object to check out is a collection, all children will be
         checked out recursively if they are documents. Trying to check out
         a collection would result in an error.
