DBPLUS_FIND(3) 1 DBPLUS_FIND(3) dbplus_find - Set a constraint on a relation SYNOPSIS
int dbplus_find (resource $relation, array $constraints, mixed $tuple) DESCRIPTION
Places a constraint on the given $relation. Further calls to functions like dbplus_curr(3) or dbplus_next(3) will only return tuples matching the given constraints. PARAMETERS
o $relation - A relation opened by dbplus_open(3). o $constraints - Constraints are triplets of strings containing of a domain name, a comparison operator and a comparison value. The $constraints parameter array may consist of a collection of string arrays, each of which contains a domain, an operator and a value, or of a single string array containing a multiple of three elements. The comparison operator may be one of the following strings: '==', '>', '>=', '<', '<=', '!=', '~' for a regular expression match and 'BAND' or 'BOR' for bitwise operations. o $tuple - RETURN VALUES

EXPR(1) BSD General Commands Manual EXPR(1) NAME
expr -- evaluate expression SYNOPSIS
expr expression DESCRIPTION
The expr utility evaluates expression and writes the result on standard output. All operators are separate arguments to the expr utility. Characters special to the command interpreter must be escaped. Operators are listed below in order of increasing precedence. Operators with equal precedence are grouped within { } symbols. expr1 | expr2 Returns the evaluation of expr1 if it is neither an empty string nor zero; otherwise, returns the evaluation of expr2. expr1 & expr2 Returns the evaluation of expr1 if neither expression evaluates to an empty string or zero; otherwise, returns zero. expr1 {=, >, >=, <, <=, !=} expr2 Returns the results of integer comparison if both arguments are integers; otherwise, returns the results of string comparison using the locale-specific collation sequence. The result of each comparison is 1 if the specified relation is true, or 0 if the relation is false. expr1 {+, -} expr2 Returns the results of addition or subtraction of integer-valued arguments. expr1 {*, /, %} expr2 Returns the results of multiplication, integer division, or remainder of integer-valued arguments. expr1 : expr2 The ``:'' operator matches expr1 against expr2, which must be a regular expression. The regular expression is anchored to the begin- ning of the string with an implicit ``^''. expr expects "basic" regular expressions, see re_format(7) for more information on regu- lar expressions. If the match succeeds and the pattern contains at least one regular expression subexpression ``(...)'', the string corresponding to ``1'' is returned; otherwise the matching operator returns the number of characters matched. If the match fails and the pattern contains a regular expression subexpression the null string is returned; otherwise 0. Parentheses are used for grouping in the usual manner. EXAMPLES
1. The following example adds one to the variable a. a=`expr $a + 1` 2. The following example returns the filename portion of a pathname stored in variable a. The // characters act to eliminate ambiguity with the division operator. expr //$a : '.*/(.*)' 3. The following example returns the number of characters in variable a. expr $a : '.*' DIAGNOSTICS
The expr utility exits with one of the following values: 0 the expression is neither an empty string nor 0. 1 the expression is an empty string or 0. 2 the expression is invalid. STANDARDS
The expr utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2''). BSD
