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
handle to a list of name-value pairs
handle to a pluggable allocator
handle to pluggable allocator operations
The library supports the following operations:
Allocate and free an nvlist_t.
Specify the allocater to be used when manipulating an nvlist_t.
Add and remove an nvpair_t from a list.
Search nvlist_t for a specified name pair.
Pack an nvlist_t into a contiguous buffer.
Expand a packed nvlist into a searchable nvlist_t.
The shared object libnvpair.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object interfaces.
