.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm prop_data
|
|
family of functions operate on an opaque data value property object type.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "xxxxx"
|
|
.It Fn prop_data_create_data "const void *blob" "size_t len"
|
|
Create a data object that contains a copy of
|
|
.Fa blob
|
|
with size
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
.It Fn prop_data_create_data_nocopy "const void *blob" "size_t len"
|
|
Create a data object that contains a reference to
|
|
.Fa blob
|
|
with size
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
.It Fn prop_data_copy "prop_data_t data"
|
|
Copy a data object.
|
|
If the data object being copied is an external data reference,
|
|
then the copy also references the same external data.
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
.It Fn prop_data_size "prop_data_t data"
|
|
Returns the size of the data object.
|
|
If the supplied object isn't a data object, zero is returned.
|
|
.It Fn prop_data_data "prop_data_t data"
|
|
Returns a copy of the data object's contents.
|
|
The caller is responsible for freeing the returned buffer.
|
|
If the supplied object isn't a data object or
|
|
if the data container is empty,
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In user space, the buffer is allocated using
|
|
.Xr malloc 3 .
|
|
In the kernel, the buffer is allocated using
|
|
.Xr malloc 9
|
|
using the malloc type
|
|
.Dv M_TEMP .
|
|
.It Fn prop_data_data_nocopy "prop_data_t data"
|
|
Returns an immutable reference to the contents of the data object.
|
|
If the supplied object isn't a data object,
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.It Fn prop_data_equals "prop_data_t dat1" "prop_data_t dat2"
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv true
|
|
if the two data objects are equivalent.
|
|
If at least one of the supplied objects isn't a data object,
|
|
.Dv false
|
|
is returned.
|
|
.It Fn prop_data_equals_data "prop_data_t data" "const void *blob" "size_t len"
|
|
Returns
|
|
.Dv true
|
|
if the data object's value is equivalent to
|
|
.Fa blob
|
|
with size
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
If the supplied object isn't a data object,
|
|
.Dv false
|
|
is returned.
