TDB_STORE(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						      TDB_STORE(3)

NAME
       tdb_store - store a record in a tdb database.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tdb.h>

       int tdb_store(TDB_CONTEXT *tdb, TDB_DATA key, TDB_DATA record, int flag);

DESCRIPTION
       Store  a  lump of data pointed to by record in the tdb database under the index pointed to by key.  The TDB_DATA structure used by both key
       and record is defined as:

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

       The flag determines the way that tdb_store behaves and can be any one of the following values.

       TDB_REPLACE
	      Insert a record creating a new one or overwriting an existing one.

       TDB_INSERT
	      Insert a new entry but refuse to overwrite an existing entry.

       TDB_MODIFY
	      Replace an existing record with a new one. This will fail if, a record does not already exist.

RETURN VALUE
       A return value of 0 indicates success and -1 indicates failure.
