.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBnvlist_remove()\fR function removes the first occurrence of \fInvpair\fR that matches the name and the type.
.sp
.LP
The \fBnvlist_remove_all()\fR function removes all occurrences of \fInvpair\fR that match the name, regardless of type.
.sp
.LP
Multiple threads can simultaneously read the same \fBnvlist_t\fR but only one thread may actively change a given \fBnvlist_t\fR at a time. The caller is responsible for the synchronization.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
These functions return \fB0\fR on success and an error value on failure.
.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
The \fBnvlist_remove()\fR and \fBnvlist_remove_all()\fR functions can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
.SH ERRORS
