gd_putdata64(3) 						      GETDATA							   gd_putdata64(3)

NAME
gd_putdata64 -- write data to a dirfile database with largefile support SYNOPSIS
#define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE #include <getdata.h> size_t gd_putdata64(DIRFILE *dirfile, const char *field_code, off64_t first_frame, off64_t first_sample, size_t num_frames, size_t num_samples, gd_type_t data_type, const void *data_out); DESCRIPTION
This version of gd_putdata(3) uses a 64-bit offset type, even if off_t is a 32-bit type. It is only available if one defines _LARGE- FILE64_SOURCE. If off_t is a 64-bit type (i.e. if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is defined to be 64), this function will be called gd_putdata(). Oth- erwise, gd_putdata() will be a version of this function which uses a 32-bit off_t. SEE ALSO

gd_put_string(3)						      GETDATA							  gd_put_string(3)

NAME
gd_put_string -- retrieve a string from a dirfile database SYNOPSIS
#include <getdata.h> int gd_put_string(DIRFILE *dirfile, const char *field_code, const char *data_in); DESCRIPTION
The gd_put_string() function queries a dirfile(5) database specified by dirfile and sets the STRING field_code , which should not contain a representation suffix, to the value specified in data_in. The dirfile argument must point to a valid DIRFILE object previously created by a call to gd_open(3). Because string values are stored in the dirfile metadata, the new value of field_code won't be written to disk until the dirfile metadata is flushed with gd_metaflush(3), or until the dirfile is closed. RETURN VALUE
On success, gd_put_string() returns the length of the string stored, including the trailing NUL character. On error, it returns 0 and sets the dirfile error to a non-zero value. Possible error values are: GD_E_BAD_CODE The field specified by field_code was not found in the database. GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE An invalid dirfile was supplied. GD_E_BAD_FIELD_TYPE The supplied field_code referred to a field of type other than STRING. The caller should use gd_putdata(3), or gd_put_constant(3) instead. GD_E_BAD_REPR The representation suffix specified in field_code was not recognised. GD_E_BAD_TYPE An invalid data_type was specified. GD_E_INTERNAL_ERROR An internal error occurred in the library while trying to perform the task. This indicates a bug in the library. Please report the incident to the maintainer. GD_E_PROTECTED The fragment containing the string was protected from change. The dirfile error may be retrieved by calling gd_error(3). A descriptive error string for the last error encountered may be obtained from a call to gd_error_string(3). SEE ALSO
