libnvpair(3LIB) Interface Libraries 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:
o Allocate and free an nvlist_t.
o Specify the allocater to be used when manipulating an nvlist_t.
o Add and remove an nvpair_t from a list.
o Search nvlist_t for a specified name pair.
o Pack an nvlist_t into a contiguous buffer.
o Expand a packed nvlist into a searchable nvlist_t.
