.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
A \fBpool_value_t\fR is an opaque type representing the typed value portion of
a pool property. For a list of the types supported by a \fBpool_value_t\fR, see
\fBpool_get_property\fR(3POOL).
.sp
.LP
The \fBpool_value_alloc()\fR function allocates and returns an opaque container
for a pool property value. The \fBpool_value_free()\fR function must be called
explicitly for allocated property values.
.sp
.LP
The \fBpool_value_get_bool()\fR, \fBpool_value_get_double()\fR,
\fBpool_value_get_int64()\fR, \fBpool_value_get_string()\fR, and
\fBpool_value_get_uint64()\fR functions retrieve the value contained in the
\fBpool_value_t\fR pointed to by \fIvalue\fR to the location pointed to by the
second argument. If the type of the value does not match that expected by the
function, an error value is returned.  The string retrieved by
\fBpool_value_get_string()\fR is freed by the library when the value is
overwritten or \fBpool_value_free()\fR is called on the pool property value.
.sp
.LP
The \fBpool_value_get_type()\fR function returns the type of the data contained
by a \fBpool_value_t\fR. If the value is unused then a type of \fBPOC_INVAL\fR
is returned.
.sp
.LP
The \fBpool_value_set_bool()\fR, \fBpool_value_set_double()\fR,
\fBpool_value_set_int64()\fR, \fBpool_value_set_string()\fR, and
\fBpool_value_set_uint64()\fR functions set the value and type of the property
value to the provided values. The \fBpool_value_set_string()\fR function copies
the string passed in and returns -1 if the memory allocation fails.
.sp
.LP
Property values can optionally have names. These names are used to describe
properties as name=value pairs in the various query functions (see
\fBpool_query_resources\fR(3POOL)).  A copy of the string passed to
\fBpool_value_set_name()\fR is made by the library, and the value returned by
\fBpool_value_get_name()\fR is freed when the \fBpool_value_t\fR is deallocated
or overwritten.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBpool_value_alloc()\fR returns a pool property
value with type initialized to \fBPVC_INVAL\fR. Otherwise, \fINULL\fR is
returned and \fBpool_error()\fR returns the pool-specific error value.
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBpool_value_get_type()\fR returns the type
contained in the property value passed in as an argument. Otherwise,
\fBPOC_INVAL\fR is returned and \fBpool_error()\fR returns the pool-specific
error value.
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBpool_value_get_bool()\fR,
\fBpool_value_get_double()\fR, \fBpool_value_get_int64()\fR,
\fBpool_value_get_string()\fR, and \fBpool_value_get_uint64()\fR return 0.
Otherwise -1 is returned and \fBpool_error\fR(3POOL) returns the pool-specific
error value.
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fBpool_value_set_string()\fR and
\fBpool_value_set_name()\fR return 0. If the memory allocation failed, -1 is
returned and \fBpool_error()\fR returns the pool-specific error value.
