DESCRIPTION
Theprop_dictionary_util family of functions are
  provided to make getting and setting values in dictionaries more convenient in
  some applications.
The getters check the type of the returned object and, in some cases, also ensure that the returned value is within the range implied by the getter's value type.
The setters handle object creation and release for the caller.
The
    prop_dictionary_get_cstring()
    function returns dynamically allocated memory. See
    prop_string(3) for more information.
The
    prop_dictionary_get_cstring_nocopy()
    and
    prop_dictionary_set_cstring_nocopy()
    functions do not copy the string that is set or returned. See
    prop_string(3) for more information.
The
    prop_dictionary_set_and_rel()
    function adds the object to the dictionary and releases it. The object is
    also released on failure.
RETURN VALUES
The prop_dictionary_util getter functions
    return true if the object exists in the dictionary
    and the value is in-range, or false otherwise.
The prop_dictionary_util setter functions
    return true if creating the object and storing it in
    the dictionary is successful, or false
  otherwise.

    library first appeared in NetBSD 4.0.
