36 confdb_key_create \- Add a new key/value pair to the Configuration Database

50 function adds a new key/value pair to the specified parent object. Parent objects may contain
51 many keys and also sub-objects. The names of keys are not required to be unique: if you
54 twice with the same parameters you will create two identical keys in the database.
56 The parent object should already exist in the database, it can be OBJECT_PARENT_HANDLE
57 (the top-level object) but this is not recommended.
59 Unlike objects, keys do not have handles, so you can't go directly to a non-unique key
64 This call returns the CONFDB_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned.
67 The errors are undocumented.
