Synopsis:

#include <pips/multimap.h>

typedef struct pips_multimap_item pips_multimap_item_t ;
struct pips_multimap_item {
    const char* key;
    size_t size;

    pips_multimap_item_t* next;
    uint8_t payload[0];
} pips_multimap_item_t;

Data:

const char* key: The key associated with the mapping
size_t size: The size, in bytes, of the item, including its payload
pips_multimap_type_e type: The type of data represented by the current mapping
pips_multimap_value_t value: The value of the mapping
pips_multimap_item_t* next: A pointer to the next item in the multimap
uint8_t payload[0]: A placeholder indicating the beginning of the item's payload data

Description:

This data type represents a single item, as a key-value mapping, in a multimap container. Each item is allocated as a contiguous area of memory, so an item's memory can be released by a call to free(). The item's value (payload data) is appended to the end of this structure in the allocated memory buffer.
