.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions are glibc-specific.
|
|
.PP
|
|
An argz vector is a pointer to a character buffer together with a length,
|
|
see
|
|
.BR argz_add (3).
|
|
An envz vector is a special argz vector, namely one where the strings
|
|
have the form "name=value".
|
|
Everything after the first \(aq=\(aq is considered
|
|
to be the value.
|
|
If there is no \(aq=\(aq, the value is taken to be NULL.
|
|
(While the value in case of a trailing \(aq=\(aq is the empty string "".)
|
|
.PP
|
|
These functions are for handling envz vectors.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BR envz_add ()
|
|
adds the string
|
|
.RI \&" name = value \&"
|
|
(in case
|
|
.I value
|
|
is non-NULL) or
|
|
.RI \&" name \&"
|
|
(in case
|
|
.I value
|
|
is NULL) to the envz vector
|
|
.RI ( *envz ,\ *envz_len )
|
|
and updates
|
|
.I *envz
|
|
and
|
|
.IR *envz_len .
|
|
If an entry with the same
|
|
.I name
|
|
existed, it is removed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BR envz_entry ()
|
|
looks for
|
|
.I name
|
|
in the envz vector
|
|
.RI ( envz ,\ envz_len )
|
|
and returns the entry if found, or NULL if not.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BR envz_get ()
|
|
looks for
|
|
.I name
|
|
in the envz vector
|
|
.RI ( envz ,\ envz_len )
|
|
and returns the value if found, or NULL if not.
|
|
(Note that the value can also be NULL, namely when there is
|
|
an entry for
|
|
.I name
|
|
without \(aq=\(aq sign.)
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BR envz_merge ()
|
|
adds each entry in
|
|
.I envz2
|
|
to
|
|
.IR *envz ,
|
|
as if with
|
|
.BR envz_add ().
|
|
If
|
|
.I override
|
|
is true, then values in
|
|
.I envz2
|
|
will supersede those with the same name in
|
|
.IR *envz ,
|
|
otherwise not.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BR envz_remove ()
|
|
removes the entry for
|
|
.I name
|
|
from
|
|
.RI ( *envz ,\ *envz_len )
|
|
if there was one.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.BR envz_strip ()
|
|
removes all entries with value NULL.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
All envz functions that do memory allocation have a return type of
|
|
.IR error_t
|
|
(an integer type),
|
|
and return 0 for success, and
|
|
.B ENOMEM
|
|
if an allocation error occurs.
