System Event Library Functionssysevent_get_attr_list(3SYSEVENT)

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.
