SYNOPSIS

nvl
The list of name-value pairs (nvlist_t) to be processed.
name
Name of the name-value pair (nvpair) to be removed.

Data type of the nvpair to be removed.
DESCRIPTION
The nvlist_remove() function removes the first occurrence of nvpair
that matches the name and the type.
The nvlist_remove_all() function removes all occurrences of nvpair that
match the name, regardless of type.
Multiple threads can simultaneously read the same nvlist_t but only one
thread may actively change a given nvlist_t at a time. The caller is
responsible for the synchronization.
RETURN VALUES
These functions return 0 on success and an error value on failure.

from user, interrupt, or kernel context.

fied by name and type.
