Detailed Description

Set of functions facilitating simplified manipulation with sysrepo values. It is not necessary to use these functions in any scenario, values can be allocated and initialized manually (just remember to set all uninitialized members to zero!).

Using these utilities, however, has several benefits. Firstly, all the memory allocations associated with creating values and setting their attributes get hidden behind these functions. The "old-way" was (and still is) to set xpath and string values using strdup, which may repeat in applications communicating with sysrepo very often and becomes very annoying to write. Secondly, the programmer may actually forget to copy or give-up on the ownership of a string passed to sysrepo value which will then get unexpectedly deallocated in sr_free_val or sr_free_values.

Note
It is best not to use sr_val_t at all and use struct lyd_node instead. Then the full libyang API is available.

[out]values_dupReturned duplicate of the input array.
int sr_equal_val ( const sr_val_t value1,

Parameters
[in]value1Sysrepo value to compare
[in]value2Sysrepo value to compare

1 if equal, 0 otherwise
int sr_new_val ( const char *  xpath,
sr_val_t **  value 
)

Allocate an instance of Sysrepo value.

Parameters
[in]xpathXpath to set for the newly allocated value. Can be NULL.
[out]valueReturned newly allocated value.
int sr_new_values ( size_t  value_cnt,
sr_val_t **  values 
)

Allocate an array of sysrepo values.

Parameters
[in]value_cntLength of the array to allocate.

[in]valueSysrepo value to print.
int sr_print_val_mem ( char **  mem_p,
const sr_val_t value 
)

Print sysrepo value into a newly allocated memory buffer. The caller is expected to eventually free the returned string.

Parameters
[in]mem_pPointer to store the resulting dump.
[in]valueSysrepo value to print.
int sr_print_val_stream ( FILE *  stream,

Helps to achive better performance by avoiding multiple sr_get_items calls, Applications can get running data tree beforehand and use this API multiple times to get sr_val_t type values.

Parameters
