.Sh DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
The
 | 
						|
.Nm prop_object
 | 
						|
family of functions operate on all property container object types.
 | 
						|
.Bl -tag -width ""
 | 
						|
.It Fn prop_object_retain "prop_object_t obj"
 | 
						|
Increment the reference count on an object.
 | 
						|
.It Fn prop_object_release "prop_object_t obj"
 | 
						|
Decrement the reference count on an object.
 | 
						|
If the last reference is dropped, the object is freed.
 | 
						|
.It Fn prop_object_type "prop_object_t obj"
 | 
						|
Determine the type of the object.
 | 
						|
Objects are one of the following types:
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
.Bl -tag -width "PROP_TYPE_DICT_KEYSYM" -compact
 | 
						|
.It Dv PROP_TYPE_BOOL
 | 
						|
Boolean value
 | 
						|
.Pq prop_bool_t
 | 
						|
.It Dv PROP_TYPE_NUMBER
 | 
						|
Number
 | 
						|
.Pq prop_number_t
 | 
						|
.It Dv PROP_TYPE_STRING
 | 
						|
String
 | 
						|
.Pq prop_string_t
 | 
						|
.It Dv PROP_TYPE_DATA
 | 
						|
Opaque data
 | 
						|
.Pq prop_data_t
 | 
						|
.It Dv PROP_TYPE_ARRAY
 | 
						|
Array
 | 
						|
.Pq prop_array_t
 | 
						|
.It Dv PROP_TYPE_DICTIONARY
 | 
						|
Dictionary
 | 
						|
.Pq prop_dictionary_t
 | 
						|
.It Dv PROP_TYPE_DICT_KEYSYM
 | 
						|
Dictionary key symbol
 | 
						|
.Pq prop_dictionary_keysym_t
 | 
						|
.El
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
If
 | 
						|
.Fa obj
 | 
						|
is
 | 
						|
.Dv NULL ,
 | 
						|
then
 | 
						|
.Dv PROP_TYPE_UNKNOWN
 | 
						|
is returned.
 | 
						|
.It Fn prop_object_equals "prop_object_t obj1" "prop_object_t obj2"
 | 
						|
Returns
 | 
						|
.Dv true
 | 
						|
if the two objects are of the same type and are equivalent.
 | 
						|
.It Fn prop_object_iterator_next "prop_object_iterator_t iter"
 | 
						|
Return the next object in the collection
 | 
						|
.Pq array or dictionary
 | 
						|
being iterated by the iterator
 | 
						|
.Fa iter .
 | 
						|
If there are no more objects in the collection,
 | 
						|
.Dv NULL
 | 
						|
is returned.
 | 
						|
.It Fn prop_object_iterator_reset "prop_object_iterator_t iter"
 | 
						|
Reset the iterator to the first object in the collection being iterated
 | 
						|
by the iterator
 | 
						|
.Fa iter .
 | 
						|
.It Fn prop_object_iterator_release "prop_object_iterator_t iter"
 | 
						|
Release the iterator
 | 
						|
.Fa iter .
