DESCRIPTION
The various pool types are converted to the common pool element type
(pool_elem_t) before property manipulation. A pool_value_t is an opaque
type that contains a property value of one of the following types:
POC_UINT unsigned 64-bit integer
POC_INT signed 64-bit integer
POC_DOUBLE signed double-precision floating point value
POC_BOOL boolean value: 0 is false, non-zero is true
POC_STRING null-terminated string of characters
The conf argument for each function refers to the target configuration
to which the operation applies.
The pool_get_property() function attempts to retrieve the value of the
named property from the element. If the property is not found or an
error occurs, the value POC_INVAL is returned to indicate error. Other‐
wise the type of the value retrieved is returned.
The pool_put_property() function attempts to set the named property on
the element to the specified value. Attempting to set a property that
does not currently exist on the element will cause the property with
the given name and value to be created on the element and will not
cause an error. An attempt to overwrite an existing property with a new
property of a different type is an error.
The pool_rm_property() function attempts to remove the named property
from the element. If the property does not exist or is not removable,
-1 is returned and pool_error(3POOL) reporst an error of POE_PUTPROP.
The pool_walk_properties() function invokes callback on all properties
defined for the given element. The callback is called with the element
itself, the name of the property, the value of the property, and the
caller-provided opaque argument.
A number of special properties are reserved for internal use and cannot
be set or removed. Attempting to do so will fail. These properties are
documented on the libpool(3LIB) manual page.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, pool_get_property() returns the type of the
property. Otherwise it returns POC_INVAL and pool_error() returns the
pool-specific error value.
Upon successful completion, pool_put_property(), pool_rm_property(),
and pool_walk_properties() return 0. Otherwise they return −1 and
pool_error() returns the pool-specific error value.
ERRORS
The pool_get_property() function will fail if:
POE_BADPARAM The supplied configuration's status is not
POF_VALID, the supplied conf does not contain
the supplied elem, or the property is
restricted and cannot be accessed by the
library.
POE_SYSTEM A system error has occurred. Check the system
error code for more details.
The pool_put_property() function will fail if:
POE_BADPARAM The supplied configuration's status is not
POF_VALID, the supplied conf does not contain
the supplied elem, the property name is not in
the correct format, or the property already
exists and the supplied type does not match the
existing type.
POE_SYSTEM A system error has occurred. Check the system
error code for more details.
POE_PUTPROP The property name is reserved by libpool and
not available for use.
POE_INVALID_CONF The configuration is invalid.
The pool_rm_property() function will fail if:
POE_BADPARAM The supplied configuration's status is not
POF_VALID, the supplied conf does not contain
the supplied elem, or the property is reserved
by libpool and cannot be removed.
POE_SYSTEM A system error has occurred. Check the system
error code for more details.
POE_PUTPROP The property name is reserved by libpool and
not available for use.
The pool_walk_properties() function will fail if:
POE_BADPARAM The supplied configuration's status is not
POF_VALID.
POE_SYSTEM A system error has occurred. Check the system
error code for more details.
