Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

nvl name nelem val flag

These functions find the nvpair that matches the name and type as indicated by the interface name. If one is found, nelem and val are modified to contain the number of elements in value and the starting address of data, respectively.

These interfaces work for nvlist_t allocated with NV_UNIQUE_NAME or NV_UNIQUE_NAME_TYPE specified in nvlist_alloc(). See nvlist_alloc(9F). If this is not the case, the interface will return ENOTSUP because the list potentially contains multiple nvpairs with the same name and type.

Multiple threads can simultaneously read the same nvlist_t but only one thread should actively change a given nvlist_t at a time. The caller is responsible for the synchronization.

All memory required for storing the array elements, including string values, are managed by the library. References to such data remain valid until nvlist_free() is called on nvl.

The nvlist_lookup_pairs() function retrieves a set of nvpairs. The arguments are a null-terminated list of pairs (data type DATA_TYPE_BOOLEAN), triples (non-array data types) or quads (array data types). As shown below, the interpretation of the arguments depends on the value of type. See nvpair_type(9F). name

type val nelem

The argument order is name, type, [val], [nelem].

When using NV_FLAG_NOENTOK and no matching name-value pair is found, the memory pointed to by val and nelem is not touched.

These functions return 0 on success and an error value on failure.

These functions fail under the following conditions. 0

EINVAL ENOENT ENOTSUP

These functions can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
