Property groups of services (see \fBscf_service_create\fR(3SCF)) or instances (see \fBscf_instance_create\fR(3SCF)) are modifiable. Property groups of snaplevels (see \fBscf_snaplevel_create\fR(3SCF)) are not modifiable. .sp .LP An \fBscf_propertygroup_t\fR is an opaque handle that can be set to a single property group at any given time. When an \fBscf_propertygroup_t\fR is set, it references a frozen-in-time version of the property group to which it is set. Updates to the property group will not be visible until either \fBscf_pg_update()\fR is called or the property group is set again. .sp .LP This static view is propagated to the \fBscf_property_t\fRs set to children of the property group. They will not see updates, even if the \fBscf_propertygroup_t\fR is updated. .sp .LP The \fBscf_pg_create()\fR function allocates and initializes a new \fBscf_propertygroup_t\fR bound to \fIhandle\fR. The \fBscf_pg_destroy()\fR function destroys and frees \fIpg\fR. .sp .LP The \fBscf_pg_handle()\fR function retrieves the handle to which \fIpg\fR is bound. .sp .LP The \fBscf_pg_get_parent_service()\fR, \fBscf_pg_get_parent_instance()\fR, and \fBscf_pg_get_parent_snaplevel()\fR functions retrieve the property group's parent, if it is of the requested type. .sp .LP The \fBscf_pg_get_name()\fR and \fBscf_pg_get_type()\fR functions retrieve the name and type, respectively, of the property group to which \fIpg\fR is set. .sp .LP The \fBscf_pg_get_flags()\fR function retrieves the flags for the property group to which \fIpg\fR is set. If \fBSCF_PG_FLAG_NONPERSISTENT\fR is set, the property group is not included in snapshots and will lose its contents upon system shutdown or reboot. Non-persistent property groups are mainly used for smf-internal state. See \fBsmf\fR(5). .sp .LP The \fBscf_pg_update()\fR function ensures that \fIpg\fR is attached to the most recent version of the \fIpg\fR to which it is set. .sp .LP The \fBscf_service_get_pg()\fR, \fBscf_instance_get_pg()\fR, and \fBscf_snaplevel_get_pg()\fR functions set \fIpg\fR to the property group specified by \fIname\fR in the service specified by \fIsvc\fR, the instance specified by \fIinst\fR, or the snaplevel specified by \fIlevel\fR, respectively. .sp .LP The \fBscf_instance_get_pg_composed()\fR function sets \fIpg\fR to the property group specified by \fIname\fR in the composed view of \fIinst\fR at the time \fIsnapshot\fR was taken. If \fIsnapshot\fR is \fINULL\fR, the current properties are used. The composed view of an instance's properties is the union of the properties of the instance and its ancestors. Properties of the instance take precedence over properties of the service with the same name (including the property group name). After a successful call to \fBscf_instance_get_pg_composed()\fR, the parent of \fIpg\fR might not be \fIinst\fR, and the parents of properties obtained from \fIpg\fR might not be \fIpg\fR. If \fIinst\fR and its parent have property groups with the same name but different types, the properties in the property group of the parent are excluded. .sp .LP The \fBscf_service_add_pg()\fR and \fBscf_instance_add_pg()\fR functions create a new property group specified by \fIname\fR whose type is \fIgroup_type\fR, and attach the \fIpg\fR handle (if non-null) to the new object. The \fIflags\fR argument must be either 0 or \fBSCF_PG_FLAG_NONPERSISTENT\fR. .sp .LP The \fBscf_pg_delete()\fR function deletes the property group. Versions of the property group in snapshots are not affected. .sp .LP The \fBscf_pg_get_underlying_pg()\fR function gets the first existing underlying property group. If the property group specified by \fIpg\fR is an instance property group, \fIout\fR is set to the property group of the same name in the instance's parent. .sp .LP Applications can use a transaction to modify a property group. See \fBscf_transaction_create\fR(3SCF). .SH RETURN VALUES .sp .LP Upon successful completion, \fBscf_pg_create()\fR returns a new \fBscf_propertygroup_t\fR. Otherwise, it returns \fINULL\fR. .sp .LP Upon successful completion, \fBscf_pg_handle()\fR returns a pointer to the handle to which \fIpg\fR is bound. Otherwise, it returns NULL. .sp .LP Upon successful completion, \fBscf_instance_handle()\fR returns the handle instance with which it is associated. Otherwise, it returns \fINULL\fR. .sp .LP Upon successful completion, \fBscf_pg_get_name()\fR and \fBscf_pg_get_type()\fR return the length of the string written, not including the terminating null byte. Otherwise, they return -1. .sp .LP The \fBscf_pg_update()\fR function returns 1 if the object was updated, 0 if the object was already up to date, and -1 on failure. .sp .LP Upon successful completion, \fBscf_pg_get_parent_service()\fR, \fBscf_pg_get_parent_snaplevel()\fR, \fBscf_pg_get_flags()\fR, \fBscf_service_get_pg()\fR, \fBscf_service_add_pg()\fR, \fBscf_pg_get_parent_instance()\fR, \fBscf_instance_get_pg()\fR, \fBscf_instance_get_pg_composed()\fR, \fBscf_instance_add_pg()\fR, \fBscf_snaplevel_get_pg()\fR, \fBscf_pg_delete()\fR, and \fBscf_pg_get_underlying_pg()\fR return 0.
