NAME
DtMmdbOpenInfoLib -- opens an infolib for service
SYNOPSIS
#include <DtMmdb.h>
int DtMmdbOpenInfoLib(
const char* infolib_path,
const char* selected_base_name,
DtMmdbBool delayed_infolib_init);
DESCRIPTION
The DtMmdbOpenInfoLib function opens an infolib for user access and returns the descriptor for the infolib. It makes the database engine
ready to provide service for an infolib. To obtain information about an infolib, use the DtMmdbInfoLibGetInfo function.
ARGUMENTS
infolib_path
Specifies the absolute path for the infolib.
selected_base_name
Specifies a single bookcase to be accessed in this session. A NULL value indicates that all bookcases will be accessed.
delayed_infolib_init
Specifies whether the bookcase activation will be delayed until access time. If you specify DtMmdbTrue, DtMmdbOpenInfoLib post-
pones the activation. This is useful when you want faster Dtinfo Database Engine initialization.
RETURN VALUE
-1 The initialization failed.
>=0 The initialization succeeded. The returned integer represents a valid infolib descriptor.
