Sh DESCRIPTION
The
Nm prop_dictionary_util
family of functions are provided to make getting and setting values in
dictionaries more convenient in some applications.
Pp
The getters check the type of the returned object and, in some cases, also
ensure that the returned value is within the range implied by the getter's
value type.
Pp
The setters handle object creation and release for the caller.
Pp
The
Fn prop_dictionary_get_cstring
function returns dynamically allocated memory.
See
Xr prop_string 3
for more information.
Pp
The
Fn prop_dictionary_get_cstring_nocopy
and
Fn prop_dictionary_set_cstring_nocopy
functions do not copy the string that is set or returned.
See
Xr prop_string 3
for more information.
Sh RETURN VALUES
The
Nm prop_dictionary_util
getter functions return
Dv TRUE
if the object exists in the dictionary and the value is in-range, or
Dv FALSE
otherwise.
Pp
The
Nm prop_dictionary_util
setter functions return
Dv TRUE
if creating the object and storing it in the dictionary is successful, or
Dv FALSE
otherwise.
