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.

char* sr_val_to_str ( const sr_val_t * value )

Converts value to string representation.

Parameters

[in] value

Returns: allocated string representation of value (must be freed by caller), NULL in case of error

Note: In case of SR_DECIMAL64_T type, number of fraction digits doesn't have to correspond to schema.

		char	buffer[],
		size_t	size
	)

Converts value to string and prints it to the provided buffer including terminating NULL byte.

Parameters

[in]	value
[in]	buffer	- buffer provided by caller where the data will be printed
[in]	size	- the size of the buffer

Returns: number of characters that was written in case of success, otherwise number of characters which would have been written if enough space had been available (excluding terminating NULL byte)

Note: In case of SR_DECIMAL64_T type, number of fraction digits doesn't have to correspond to schema.

int sr_tree_to_val	(	const struct lyd_node *	data,

		sr_val_t **	value
	)

Finds single node from given struct lyd_node type data tree and converts it to sr_val_t.

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

Parameters

[in]	data	Root node of a data tree in which to search for and return value.
[in]	path	Path of the data element to be retrieved.
[out]	value	Requested node, allocated dynamically (free using sr_free_val).

Returns: Error code (SR_ERR_OK on success, SR_ERR_INVAL_ARG if multiple nodes match the path, SR_ERR_NOT_FOUND if no nodes match the path).

int sr_tree_to_values	(	const struct lyd_node *	data,
		const char *	xpath,
		sr_val_t **	values,
		size_t *	value_cnt
	)

Finds subtree from given struct lyd_node type data tree and converts it to sr_val_t.

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

[in]	data	Root node of a data tree in which to search for and return value.
[in]	xpath	XPath of the data elements to be retrieved.
[out]	values	Array of requested nodes, allocated dynamically (free using sr_free_values).
[out]	value_cnt	Number of returned elements in the values array.
