nvlist_next_nvpair(3NVPAIR) Name-value Pair Library Functions nvlist_next_nvpair(3NVPAIR) NAME
nvlist_next_nvpair, nvpair_name, nvpair_type - return data regarding name-value pairs SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lnvpair [ library... ] #include <libnvpair.h> nvpair_t *nvlist_next_nvpair(nvlist_t *nvl, nvpair_t *nvpair); char *nvpair_name(nvpair_t *nvpair); data_type_t nvpair_type(nvpair_t *nvpair); PARAMETERS
nvl The nvlist_t to be processed. nvpair Handle to a name-value pair. DESCRIPTION
The nvlist_next_nvpair() function returns a handle to the next nvpair in the list following nvpair. If nvpair is NULL, the first pair is returned. If nvpair is the last pair in the nvlist, NULL is returned. The nvpair_name() function returns a string containing the name of nvpair. The nvpair_type() function retrieves the value of the nvpair in the form of enumerated type data_type_t. This is used to determine the appropriate nvpair_*() function to call for retrieving the value. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, nvpair_name() returns a string containing the name of the name-value pair. Upon successful completion, nvpair_type() returns an enumerated data type data_type_t. Possible values for data_type_t are as follows: DATA_TYPE_BOOLEAN DATA_TYPE_BOOLEAN_VALUE DATA_TYPE_BYTE DATA_TYPE_INT8 DATA_TYPE_UINT8 DATA_TYPE_INT16 DATA_TYPE_UINT16 DATA_TYPE_INT32 DATA_TYPE_UINT32 DATA_TYPE_INT64 DATA_TYPE_UINT64 DATA_TYPE_STRING DATA_TYPE_NVLIST DATA_TYPE_BOOLEAN_ARRAY DATA_TYPE_BYTE_ARRAY DATA_TYPE_INT8_ARRAY DATA_TYPE_UINT8_ARRAY DATA_TYPE_INT16_ARRAY DATA_TYPE_UINT16_ARRAY DATA_TYPE_INT32_ARRAY DATA_TYPE_UINT32_ARRAY DATA_TYPE_INT64_ARRAY DATA_TYPE_UINT64_ARRAY DATA_TYPE_STRING_ARRAY DATA_TYPE_NVLIST_ARRAY Upon reaching the end of a list, nvlist_next_pair() returns NULL. Otherwise, the function returns a handle to next nvpair in the list. These and other libnvpair(3LIB) functions cannot manipulate nvpairs after they have been removed from or replaced in an nvlist. Replacement can occur during pair additions to nvlists created with NV_UNIQUE_NAME_TYPE and NV_UNIQUE_NAME. See nvlist_alloc(3NVPAIR). ERRORS
No errors are defined. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Example of usage of nvlist_next_nvpair(). /* * usage of nvlist_next_nvpair() */ static int edit_nvl(nvlist_t *nvl) { nvpair_t *curr = nvlist_next_nvpair(nvl, NULL); while (curr != NULL) { int err; nvpair_t *next = nvlist_next_nvpair(nvl, curr); if (!nvl_check(curr)) if ((err = nvlist_remove(nvl, nvpair_name(curr), nvpair_type(curr))) != 0) return (err); curr = next; } return(0); } ATTRIBUTES
