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:
