+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm libnv
+library permits easy management of name/value pairs and can send and receive
+them over sockets.
+For more information, also see
+.Xr nv 9 .
+.Pp
+The concept of cookies is explained in
+.Fn nvlist_next ,
+.Fn nvlist_get_parent ,
+.Fn nvlist_get_pararr
+from
+.Xr nv 9 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm cnvlist_get
+family of functions obtains the value associated with the given cookie.
+Returned strings, nvlists, descriptors, binaries, or arrays must not be modified
+by the user, since they still belong to the nvlist.
+The nvlist must not be in an error state.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm cnvlist_take
+family of functions returns the value associated with the given cookie and
+removes the element from the nvlist.
+When the value is a string, binary, or array value, the caller is responsible
+for freeing the returned memory with
+.Fn free 3 .
+When the value is an nvlist, the caller is responsible for destroying the
+returned nvlist with
+.Fn nvlist_destroy .
+When the value is a descriptor, the caller is responsible for closing the
+returned descriptor with
+.Fn close 2 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm cnvlist_free
+family of functions removes an element of the supplied cookie and frees all
+resources.
+If an element of the given cookie has the wrong type or does not exist, the
+program
+is aborted.
+.Sh EXAMPLE
+This example demonstrates how to deal with the cnvlist API.
+.Bd -literal
+int type;
+void *cookie, *scookie, *bcookie;
+nvlist_t *nvl;
+char *name;
+
+nvl = nvlist_create(0);
+nvlist_add_bool(nvl, "test", 1 == 2);
+nvlist_add_string(nvl, "test2", "cnvlist");
+cookie = NULL;
+
+while (nvlist_next(nvl, &type, &cookie) != NULL) {
+ switch (type) {
+ case NV_TYPE_BOOL:
+ printf("test: %d\\n", cnvlist_get_bool(cookie));
+ bcookie = cookie;
+ break;
+ case NV_TYPE_STRING:
+ printf("test2: %s\\n", cnvlist_get_string(cookie));
+ scookie = cookie;
+ break;
+ }
+}
+
+name = cnvlist_take_string(nvl, scookie);
+cnvlist_free_bool(nvl, bcookie);
+
+printf("test2: %s\\n", name);
+free(name);
+
+printf("nvlist_empty = %d\\n", nvlist_empty(nvl));
+nvlist_destroy(nvl);
+
+return (0);
