<h1>Value Access</h1>
<h2>Abstract</h2>
OSSP val is a flexible name to value mapping library for C variables. It is a
companion library to <a href="../var/">OSSP var</a>. It allows one to access
C variables through name strings, although the C language does neither provide
such a dedicated facility nor an evaluation construct (which could be used to
implement such a facility easily).
<p>
In general, this is used for accessing C variables without having to know the
actual symbol/address/reference. The typical use cases are in combination with
flexible configuration parsing and supporting loosly-coupled DSO-based module
architectures.
