/* "Property list" definitions for Ghostscript */

/*
 * Several interfaces in Ghostscript use the idea of a "property list",
 * essentially a dictionary with a fixed set of key names and known
 * value types.  A property list is represented by an array of structures
 * with four components:
 *
 *      - The name of the property;
 *
 *      - The type of value provided (or expected);
 *
 *      - The value itself;
 *
 *      - An indication of whether the value was supplied, and if so,
 * whether it was acceptable.
 *
 * Currently, property lists are only used to communicate parameter values
 * to devices.
