PARAMETERS

nvl

The nvlist_t to be processed.

name

Name of the name-value pair to search.

nelem

Address to store the number of elements in value.

val

Address to store the starting address of the value.

DESCRIPTION

These functions find the nvpair (name-value pair) that matches the name and type as indicated by the interface name. If one is found, nelem and val are modified to contain the number of elements in value and the starting address of data, respectively.

These functions work for nvlists (lists of name-value pairs) allocated with NV_UNIQUE_NAME or NV_UNIQUE_NAME_TYPE specified in nvlist_alloc(). (See nv_list_alloc(3NVPAIR).) If this is not the case, the function returns ENOTSUP because the list potentially contains multiple nvpairs with the same name and type.

All memory required for storing the array elements, including string value, are managed by the library. References to such data remain valid until nvlist_free() is called on nvl.

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.

ENOENT

No matching name-value pair is found

ENOTSUP

An encode/decode method is not supported.
