libnvpair(3LIB)
Name
libnvpair - name-value pair library
Synopsis
cc [ flag... ] file... –lnvpair [ library... ]
#include <libnvpair.h>
Description
The libnvpair library exports a set of functions for managing name-value pairs.
The library defines four opaque handles:
- nvpair_t
handle to a name-value pair
- nvlist_t
handle to a list of name-value pairs
- nv_alloc_t
handle to a pluggable allocator
- nv_alloc_ops_t
handle to pluggable allocator operations
The library supports the following operations:
Allocate and free an nvlist_t.
Specify the allocater to be used when manipulating an nvlist_t.
Add and remove an nvpair_t from a list.
Search nvlist_t for a specified name pair.
Pack an nvlist_t into a contiguous buffer.
Expand a packed nvlist into a searchable nvlist_t.
