Function Documentation

void oval_variable_model_add	(	struct oval_variable_model *	model,
		char *	varid,
		const char *	comment,
		oval_datatype_t	datatype,
		char *	value
	)		[inherited]

Get the values bound to a specified external variable.

If the varid does not resolve to a managed external variable, this method returns NULL.

Parameters:

variable_model	the specified oval_variable_model.
varid	the identifier of the required oval_variable.

struct oval_variable_model * oval_variable_model_clone

(

struct oval_variable_model *

)

[read, inherited]

Clone an OVAL variable model.

Returns:

A copy of the specified oval_variable_model.

void oval_variable_model_free

(

struct oval_variable_model *

)

[inherited]

Free memory allocated to a specified oval_variable_model.

Parameters:

variable_model

the specified oval_variable_model

const char * oval_variable_model_get_comment	(	struct oval_variable_model *	,
		char *
	)		[inherited]

Get a specified external variable comment.

If the varid does not resolve to a managed external variable, this method returns NULL.

Parameters:

variable_model	the specified oval_variable_model.
varid	the identifier of the required oval_variable.

oval_datatype_t oval_variable_model_get_datatype	(	struct oval_variable_model *	,
		char *
	)		[inherited]

Get a specified external variable datatype.

If the varid does not resolve to a managed external variable, this method returns 0.

Parameters:

variable_model	the specified oval_variable_model.
varid	the identifier of the required oval_variable.

struct oval_value_iterator * oval_variable_model_get_values	(	struct oval_variable_model *	,
		char *
	)		[read, inherited]

Get the values bound to a specified external variable.

If the varid does not resolve to a managed external variable, this method returns NULL.

Parameters:

variable_model	the specified oval_variable_model.
varid	the identifier of the required oval_variable.

struct oval_string_iterator * oval_variable_model_get_variable_ids

(

struct oval_variable_model *

the specified oval_variable_model.

bool oval_variable_model_has_variable	(	struct oval_variable_model *	model,
		const char *	id
	)		[inherited]

Return true if variable with ID is present in variable model, false otherwise.

Parameters:

model	Variable model
id	ID of variable

struct oval_variable_model * oval_variable_model_import

(

const char *

file

)

[read, inherited]

Import the content from the file into a new oval_variable_model.

Parameters:
