int sysevent_get_attr_list(sysevent_t *ev, nvlist_t **attr_list);

ev

handle to a system event

attr_list

address of a pointer to attribute list (nvlist_t)

The sysevent_get_attr_list() function updates attr_list to point to a searchable name-value pair list associated with the sysevent event, ev. The interface manages the allocation of the attribute list, but it is up to the caller to free the list when it is no longer needed with a call to nvlist_free(). See nvlist_alloc(3NVPAIR).

The sysevent_get_attr_list() function returns 0 if the attribute list for ev is found to be valid. Otherwise it returns −1 and sets errno to indicate the error.

The sysevent_get_attr_list() function will fail if:

ENOMEM

Insufficient memory available to allocate an nvlist.

EINVAL

Invalid sysevent event attribute list.

The libsysevent interfaces do not work at all in non-global zones.
