slapi_value_set()

Sets the value in a Slapi_Value structure.

Syntax

#include "slapi-plugin.h"
 Slapi_Value * slapi_value_set(Slapi_Value *value, void *val,
    unsigned long len);

Parameters

This function takes the following parameters:

value

Pointer to the Slapi_Value in which to set the value.

val

Pointer to the value.

len

Length of the value.

Returns

This function returns a pointer to the Slapi_Value with the value set.

Description

This function sets the value in the Slapi_Value structure. The value is a duplicate of the data pointed to by val and of length len.

Memory Concerns

If the pointer to the Slapi_Value structure is NULL, then nothing is done and the function returns NULL. If the Slapi_Value structure already contains a value, it is freed from memory before the new one is set.

When you are no longer using the Slapi_Value structure, you should free it from memory by calling slapi_value_free() .
