  19 .sp
  20 .LP
  21 The \fBkva_match()\fR function searches a \fBkva_t\fR structure, which is part
  22 of the  \fBauthattr_t\fR, \fBexecattr_t\fR, \fBprofattr_t\fR, or
  23 \fBuserattr_t\fR structures. The function takes two arguments: a pointer to a
  24 key value array, and a key.  If the key is in the array, the function returns a
  25 pointer to the first corresponding value that matches that key.  Otherwise, the
  26 function returns \fINULL\fR.

  30 Upon successful completion, the function returns a pointer to the value sought.
  31 Otherwise, it returns \fINULL\fR.

  55 .LP
  56 The \fBkva_match()\fR function returns a pointer to data that already exists in
  57 the key-value array. It does not allocate its own memory for this pointer but
  58 obtains it from the key-value array that is passed as its first argument.
