DESCRIPTION

       The cmap_get function is used to retrieve key from cmap  previously  set  by  cmap_set(3)  function.  The
       handle argument is connection to CMAP database obtained by calling cmap_initialize(3) function.  key_name
       is  name  of  key to get value from.  value is pointer to preallocated data used as storage for data, but
       can be also NULL, and then only value_len and/or type is  returned  (both  of  them  can  also  be  NULL,
       allowing  function to be used only for test of existence of key).  If value is not NULL, actual length of
       value in map is checked against *value_len.  If *value_len is shorter then length of value in map,  error
       CS_ERR_INVALID_PARAM  is  returned. After successful copy of value, *value_len is set to actual length of
       value in map. Parameter type is pointer to memory, where type of value is stored after successful return.
       Pointer can also be NULL and then nothing is stored. Type can be one of:

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_INT8 - 8-bit signed integer

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_UINT8 - 8-bit unsigned integer

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_INT16 - 16-bit signed integer

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_UINT16 - 16-bit unsigned integer

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_INT32 - 32-bit signed integer

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_UINT32 - 32-bit unsigned integer

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_INT64 - 64-bit signed integer

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_UINT64 - 64-bit unsigned integer

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_FLOAT - Float value

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_DOUBLE - Double value

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_STRING - C-style string

       CMAP_VALUETYPE_BINARY - Binary data, byte with zero value has no special meaning

       Shortcut functions tests cmap type with it's own type. If type didn't match,  CS_ERR_INVALID_PARAM  error
       is  returned.  No  conversions  are  done, so for example cmap_get_int16 is not able to return value with
       CMAP_VALUETYPE_INT8 type.

       String shortcut function returns newly allocated memory and caller is responsible for freeing that.

RETURN VALUE

       This  call  returns  the  CS_OK  value  if  successful.   If   value   or   key_name   are   unspecified,
       CS_ERR_INVALID_PARAM  is  returned.  Same error is also returned if value is specified, and *value_len is
       too short for store of data. If key doesn't exists (it was not set by calling cmap_set(3) function first)
       CS_ERR_NOT_EXIST error is returned. For helper functions, CS_ERR_INVALID_PARAM is returned if type stored
       in cmap doesn't match with type of helper function.
