PARAMETERS

nvl

The nvlist_t (name-value pair list) to be processed.

name

Name of the nvpair (name-value pair).

nelem

Number of elements in value (that is, array size).

val

Value or starting address of the array value.

DESCRIPTION

These functions add a new name-value pair to an nvlist_t. The uniqueness of nvpair name and data types follows the nvflag argument specified for nvlist_alloc(). See nvlist_alloc(3NVPAIR).

If NV_UNIQUE_NAME was specified for nvflag, existing nvpairs with matching names are removed before the new nvpair is added.

If NV_UNIQUE_NAME_TYPE was specified for nvflag, existing nvpairs with matching names and data types are removed before the new nvpair is added.

If neither was specified for nvflag, the new nvpair is unconditionally added at the end of the list. The library preserves the order of the name-value pairs across packing, unpacking, and duplication.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

These functions will fail if:

EINVAL

There is an invalid argument.

ENOMEM

There is insufficient memory.
