# DESCRIPTION

The `prop_array_util`() family of functions are provided to make getting and setting values in arrays more convenient in some applications.

The getters check the type of the returned object and, in some cases, also ensure that the returned value is within the range implied by the getter's value type.

The setters handle object creation and release for the caller.

The `prop_array_add_cstring`() and `prop_array_get_cstring`() functions returns dynamically allocated memory. See prop_string(3) for more information.

The `prop_array_add_cstring_nocopy`(), `prop_array_get_cstring_nocopy`(), and `prop_array_set_cstring_nocopy`() functions do not copy the string that is set or returned. See prop_string(3) for more information.

The `prop_array_add_and_rel`() function adds the object to the end of the array and releases it. The object is also released on failure.

# RETURN VALUES

The `prop_array_util`() getter functions return `true` if the object exists in the array and the value is in-range, or `false` otherwise.

The `prop_array_util`() setter functions return `true` if creating the object and storing it in the array is successful, or `false` otherwise.
