struct uci_package *p;

/* equivalent to uci set network.lan1=interface */
struct uci_ptr ptr = {
    .package = "network",
    .section = "lan1",
    .option  = NULL,
    .value   = "interface"
};

uci_load(context, ptr.package, &p);

if (!p) {
    /* cannot load config file */
    uci_perror(context, "uci_load(): ");
    return;
}

if (!uci_lookup_ptr(context, &ptr, NULL, true)) {
    /* section already exists */
    return;
}

if (uci_set(context, &ptr)) {
    /* failed to create named section */
    uci_perror(context, "uci_set(): ");
    return;
}

/* section created; ptr.s will hold a pointer to it */
