TDB_OPEN(3) Linux Programmer's Manual TDB_OPEN(3) NAME
tdb_open - Open a tdb database. SYNOPSIS
#include <tdb.h> TDB_CONTEXT *tdb_open(const char *pathname, int hash_size, int tdb_flags, int open_flags, mode_t mode ); DESCRIPTION
Open the database, creating it if necessary. The hash size is advisory, use zero for a default value. tdb_flags can be one of TDB_CLEAR_IF_FIRST Clear database if we are the only one with it open. TDB_INTERNAL Don't use a file, instead store the data in memory. The pathname , open_flags , and mode are ignored in this case. This is useful if you need a quick associative array or map. TDB_NOLOCK Don't do any locking (this is always turned on for read-only file descriptors) TDB_NOMMAP Don't use mmap. TDB_CONVERT Create a database in the reverse of native endian: normally when the database is created (or cleared with TDB_CLEAR_IF_FIRST), it is created in native endian order. This flag is set (or unset) automatically for existing databases. The open_flags and mode are passed straight to the open call on the database file. A flags value of O_WRONLY is invalid. RETURN VALUE
On success a pointer to an opaque data structure, a TDB_CONTEXT is returned. On error a NULL is returned. AUTHORS
