SYSEVENT_GET_ATTR_LIST(3SYSEVENT) System Event Library Functions
NAME
sysevent_get_attr_list - get attribute list pointer
SYNOPSIS
cc [
flag ...]
file...
-lsysevent -lnvpair [
library ...]
#include <libsysevent.h>
#include <libnvpair.h>
int sysevent_get_attr_list(
sysevent_t *ev,
nvlist_t **attr_list);
PARAMETERS
ev handle to a system event
attr_list address of a pointer to attribute list (
nvlist_t)
DESCRIPTION
The
sysevent_get_attr_list() function updates
attr_list to point to a
searchable name-value pair list associated with the
sysevent event,
ev. The interface manages the allocation of the attribute list, but
it is up to the caller to free the list when it is no longer needed
with a call to
nvlist_free(). See
nvlist_alloc(3NVPAIR).
RETURN VALUES
The
sysevent_get_attr_list() function returns
0 if the attribute list
for
ev is found to be valid. Otherwise it returns
-1 and sets
errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The
sysevent_get_attr_list() function will fail if:
ENOMEM Insufficient memory available to allocate an
nvlist.
EINVAL Invalid
sysevent event attribute list.
