nvpair documentation?

Hey folks -

Going to refactor zpool_load_compat shortly to take account of some suggested enhancements etc. Will probably use an nvlist to return most of the needed information; but it's been difficult to find information on the nvpair library included here. It seems to be a subset of the current external implementation (lacking features like nvlist_append_string_array) and I'm not sure of the intention of the fnvlist variant functions (I can see what they do, just not clear on when to use them). Is there an overview anywhere of the nvpair capabilities as included here?

Eh, nvm. Descended from the Solaris kernel capability rather than the full library. Think I got it.
