NAME
       tdb_fetch - fetch a record from a tdb database

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tdb.h>

       TDB_DATA tdb_fetch(TDB_CONTEXT *tdb, TDB_DATA key);

DESCRIPTION
       Fetch the record from the tdb database whose key matches key , a lump of data that is used as the index into the database.

       The TDB_DATA structure used for both the key and the return value is defined as:

	      typedef struct {
		   char *dptr;
		   size_t dsize;
	      } TDB_DATA;

RETURN VALUE
       If  the	call succeeds, then a TDB_DATA structure is returned with the dptr structure filled in. If the call fails then dptr will be set to
       NULL.

       NOTE: The caller is responsible for freeing the data pointed to by dptr.
