PX_CREATE_FP(3) 					     Library Functions Manual						   PX_CREATE_FP(3)

NAME
       PX_create_fp -- create a new Paradox file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <paradox.h>

       int PX_create_fp(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, pxfield_t *fields, int numfields, FILE *fp, int type)

DESCRIPTION
       Creates	a  new Paradox document in an already open file with the given field specification. pxdoc must be created before with PX_new(3) or
       PX_new2(3).  The file must be opened in read/write mode (w+) with fopen(3). fields is an array of numfields field specifications to set the
       schema of the database. The memory for the field specifications and field names must be allocated by the caller and may not be freed, since
       the memory is freed when the document is deleted. Make sure to use the same memory allocation function as passed to PX_new(3).  The  memory
       for the field names is usually allocated with PX_strdup(3).  The field name can be left empty if a primary index file is to be created. The
       type of the file can be set in the last parameter. Currently only database  (pxfFileTypIndexDB,	pxfFileTypNonIndexDB)  and  primary  index
       (pxfFileTypPrimIndex) files are supported.

       After  creating	the paradox database you may want to call PX_set_tablename(3) in order to set the table name as it is stored in the header
       of the database.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
