| ) |  |

Create or find a specific named_data entry for writing in a sequence or list based on the OID. If not already in there, a new entry is added to the head of the list. Warning: Destructive behaviour for the val data!

Parameters

  list | The pointer to the location of the head of the list to seek through (will be updated in case of a new entry).
  oid | The OID to look for.
  oid_len | The size of the OID.
  val | The associated data to store. If this is `NULL`, no data is copied to the new or existing buffer.
  val_len | The minimum length of the data buffer needed. If this is 0, do not allocate a buffer for the associated data. If the OID was already present, enlarge, shrink or free the existing buffer to fit `val_len`.

  A pointer to the new / existing entry on success.
