nv.h lives in sys/ as of r279439.

Add support for the arrays in nvlist library.

- Add
nvlist_{add,get,take,move,exists,free}_{number,bool,string,nvlist,
descriptor} functions.
- Add support for (un)packing arrays.
- Add the nvl_array_next field to the nvlist structure.
If an array is added by the nvlist_{move,add}_nvlist_array function
this field will contains next element in the array.
- Add the nitems field to the nvpair and nvpair_header structure.
This field contains number of elements in the array.
- Add special flag (NV_FLAG_IN_ARRAY) which is set if nvlist is a part of
an array.
- Add special type (NV_TYPE_NVLIST_ARRAY_NEXT).This type is used only
on packing/unpacking.
- Add new API for traversing arrays (nvlist_get_array_next).
- Add the nvlist_get_pararr function which combines the
nvlist_get_array_next and nvlist_get_parent functions. If nvlist is in
the array it will return next element from array. If nvlist is last
element in array or it isn't in array it will return his
container (parent). This function should simplify traveling over nvlist.
- Add tests for new features.
- Add documentation for new functions.
- Add my copyright.
- Regenerate the sys/cddl/compat/opensolaris/sys/nvpair.h file.

Approved, oprócz użycie RESTORE_ERRNO() do ustawiania errno.

Change the nvlist_recv() function to take additional argument that
specifies flags expected on the received nvlist. Receiving a nvlist with
different set of flags than the ones we expect might lead to undefined
behaviour, which might be potentially dangerous.

Update consumers of this and related functions and update the tests.

Add function to force an nvlist into the error state

Add an nvlist_set_error() function that can be used to force an
nvlist into the error state. This is useful both for writing
tests and for writing APIs that use nvlists internally.

nv(3) was not in 10.0.

It might be MFC'd to stable/10 for 10.1, but for now update the manual to
avoid confusion on its availability.

Discussed with: pjd

Bring in libnv library for managing name/value pairs. The following types
are currently supported:

- NV_TYPE_NULL - only name, no data;
- NV_TYPE_BOOL - boolean (true or false);
- NV_TYPE_NUMBER - 64bit unsigned integer;
- NV_TYPE_STRING - C string;
- NV_TYPE_NVLIST - nested nvlist;
- NV_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR - file descriptor;
- NV_TYPE_BINARY - binary data.

For detailed documentation and examples see nv(3) manual page.
