NAME¶
tdb_store - store a record in a tdb database.
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <tdb.h>
int tdb_store(TDB_CONTEXT *tdb, TDB_DATA key, TDB_DATA record, int flag);
DESCRIPTION¶
Store a lump of data pointed to by
record in the
tdb database
under the index pointed to by
key. The TDB_DATA structure used by both
key and
record is defined as:
typedef struct {
char *dptr;
size_t dsize;
} TDB_DATA;
The
flag determines the way that tdb_store behaves and can be any one of
the following values.
- TDB_REPLACE
- Insert a record creating a new one or overwriting an
existing one.
- TDB_INSERT
- Insert a new entry but refuse to overwrite an existing
entry.
- TDB_MODIFY
- Replace an existing record with a new one. This will fail
if, a record does not already exist.
RETURN VALUE¶
A return value of 0 indicates success and -1 indicates failure.
