DtMmdbSectionGetData(library call) DtMmdbSectionGetData(library call)
NAME
DtMmdbSectionGetData -- obtains the data for a section
SYNOPSIS
#include <DtMmdb.h>
const char* DtMmdbSectionGetData(
DtMmdbInfoRequest* request,
unsigned int* length);
DESCRIPTION
The DtMmdbSectionGetData function returns the data for the specified section. Do not use the free function on the returned pointer. Table
lookup is involved if the section identifier is specified by the locator_ptr field.
ARGUMENTS
request Specifies the bookcase in the bookcase descriptor field and either the section's Database Engine identifier (in the primary_oid
field) or the section's logical identifier (in the locator_ptr field). If both of these fields have a value, DtMmdbSectionGetData
ignores the locator_ptr value.
length Specifies the variable to receive the length of the returned data, if the returned pointer to the data is not NULL.
RETURN VALUE
If DtMmdbSectionGetData completes successfully, it returns a pointer to a NULL-terminated data string. If it fails, it returns a NULL
pointer.
EXAMPLE
The following shows how a DtMmdbSectionGetData call might be coded.
DtMmdbInfoRequest request;
/* fill the request */
DtMmdbSectionGetData(&request, 0);
