Module libnv::libnv [−][src]
Expand description
FreeBSD implementation of Name/value pairs library.
All insert operation clone values using dup(2) system call. So you
don’t have to worry about the lifetime of the value. Unless you leak NvList
yourself using unsafe
you don’t have to worry about anything. Once list goes out of scope it will
call to C library
to free all resources associated with it. nvlist_take_* and
nvlist_move_* operations are
not supported for this very reason.
It’s missing a few features:
- Sending to socket
- Receiving from socket
- Insert/Remove file descriptors
- Insert/Remove binary
- Take operations
- Iterator interface
Structs
A list of name/value pairs.
Enums
Options available for creation of an nvlist
Enumeration of available data types that the API supports.
Traits
This allows usage of insert method with basic types. Implement this for your own types if you don’t want to convert to primitive types every time.
