SD_JSON...ET_FIELD(3) sd_json_variant_unset_fieldSD_JSON...ET_FIELD(3)sd_json_variant_unset_field - Remove a specific field from a JSON object
#include <systemd/sd-json.h>int sd_json_variant_unset_field(sd_json_variant **object,const char *field);
sd_json_variant_unset_field()takes a pointer to a pointer to a JSON object and a field name. If the object contains a field under the specified name, a new JSON object is allocated that is a copy of the original one, however the specified field is removed. The object parameter is updated to point to the new object, which has an initial reference counter of one. The reference counter of the original object is decremented by one. Or in other words: the specified object is replaced by one with the field removed. If the referenced object does not contain a field matching the specified name, no operation is executed. Similar, if aNULLpointer is referenced, no operation is executed.
On success, and if a field was removedsd_json_variant_unset_field()returns a positive non-zero integer. If no matching field was found it returns zero. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error code.Errors Returned errors may indicate the following problems:-EINVAL An argument is invalid.-ENOMEM Memory allocation failed.
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can be compiled against and linked to with thelibsystemd pkg-config(1) file. The code described here usesgetenv(3), which is declared to be not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the functions described here must not callsetenv(3) from a parallel thread. It is recommended to only do calls tosetenv()from an early phase of the program when no other threads have been started.
sd_json_variant_unset_field()was added in version 258.
