//! 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
