DESCRIPTION

       udev_device_has_tag() returns a valuer larger than zero if the specified device object has the indicated
       tag assigned to it, and zero otherwise. See udev(7) for details on the tags concept.
       udev_device_has_current_tag() executes a similar check, however only determines whether the indicated tag
       was set as result of the most recent event seen for the device. Tags are "sticky", i.e. once set for a
       device they remain on the device until the device is unplugged, even if the rules run for later events of
       the same device do not set them anymore. Any tag for which udev_device_has_current_tag() returns true
       will hence also return true when passed to udev_device_has_tag(), but the opposite might not be true, in
       case a tag is no longer configured by the rules applied to the most recent device even.

       udev_device_get_tags_list_entry() returns a udev_list_entry object, encapsulating a list of tags set for
       the specified device. Similar, udev_device_get_current_tags_list_entry() returns a list of tags set for
       the specified device as effect of the most recent device event seen (see above for details on the
       difference).

RETURN VALUE

       On success, udev_device_has_tag() and udev_device_has_current_tag() return positive or 0, depending on
       whether the device has the given tag or not. On failure, a negative error code is returned.

       On success, udev_device_get_devlinks_list_entry(), udev_device_get_properties_list_entry(),
       udev_device_get_tags_list_entry(), udev_device_get_current_tags_list_entry() and
       udev_device_get_sysattr_list_entry() return a pointer to the first entry of the retrieved list. If that
       list is empty, or if an error occurred, NULL is returned.

       On success, udev_device_get_property_value() and udev_device_get_sysattr_value() return a pointer to a
       constant string of the requested value. On error, NULL is returned. Attributes that may contain NUL bytes
       should not be retrieved with udev_device_get_sysattr_value(); instead, read them directly from the files
       within the device's syspath.

       On success, udev_device_set_sysattr_value() returns an integer greater than, or equal to, 0. On failure,
       a negative error code is returned. Values that contain NUL bytes should not be set with this function;
       instead, write them directly to the files within the device's syspath.
