NAME
     libnvpair - name-value pair library

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lnvpair [ library... ]
     #include 


DESCRIPTION
     The libnvpair library exports a set of functions for  manag-
     ing name-value pairs.


     The library defines four opaque handles:

     nvpair_t          handle to a name-value pair


     nvlist_t          handle to a list of name-value pairs


     nv_alloc_t        handle to a pluggable allocator


     nv_alloc_ops_t    handle to pluggable allocator operations



     The library supports the following operations:

         o    Allocate and free an nvlist_t.

         o    Specify the allocater to be used when  manipulating
              an nvlist_t.

         o    Add and remove an nvpair_t from a list.

         o    Search nvlist_t for a specified name pair.

         o    Pack an nvlist_t into a contiguous buffer.

         o    Expand a packed nvlist into a searchable nvlist_t.

INTERFACES

     faces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information
     on shared object interfaces.
