SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag ... ] file ...-lnvpair [ library ... ] #include <libnvpair.h> int nvlist_add_boolean(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name);

int nvlist_add_byte(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, uchar_t val);

int nvlist_add_int16(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, int16_t val);

int nvlist_add_uint16(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, uint16_t val);

int nvlist_add_int32(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, int32_t val);

int nvlist_add_uint32(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, uint32_t val);

int nvlist_add_int64(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, int64_t val);

int nvlist_add_uint64(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, uint64_t val);

int nvlist_add_string(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, char *val);

int nvlist_add_byte_array(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, uchar_t *val, uint_t nelem);

int nvlist_add_int16_array(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, int16_t *val, uint_t nelem);

int nvlist_add_uint16_array(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, uint16_t *val, uint_t nelem);

int nvlist_add_int32_array(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, int32_t *val, uint_t nelem);

int nvlist_add_uint32_array(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, uint32_t *val, uint_t nelem);

int nvlist_add_int64_array(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, int64_t *val, uint_t nelem);

int nvlist_add_uint64_array(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, uint64_t *val, uint_t nelem);

int nvlist_add_string_array(nvlist_t *nvl, char *name, char **val, uint_t nelem);

PARAMETERS

nvl: The nvlist_t (name-value pair list) to be processed.
name: Name of the nvpair (name-value pair).
nelem: Number of elements in value (that is, array size).
val: Value or starting address of the array value.

DESCRIPTION

These functions add a new name-value pair to an nvlist_t. The uniqueness of nvpair name and data types follows the nvflag argument specified for nvlist_alloc(). See nvlist_alloc(3NVPAIR).

If NV_UNIQUE_NAME was specified for nvflag, existing nvpairs with matching names are removed before the new nvpair is added.

If NV_UNIQUE_NAME_TYPE was specified for nvflag, existing nvpairs with matching names and data types are removed before the new nvpair is added.

If neither was specified for nvflag, the new nvpair is unconditionally added at the end of the list. The library preserves the order of the name-value pairs across packing, unpacking, and duplication.

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

These functions will fail if:

EINVAL: There is an invalid argument.
ENOMEM: There is insufficient memory.
