DtMmdbSectionGetBookId(library call) DtMmdbSectionGetBookId(library call)
NAME
DtMmdbSectionGetBookId -- obtains the object identifier of a book
SYNOPSIS
#include <DtMmdb.h>
DtMmdbHandle* DtMmdbSectionGetBookId(
DtMmdbInfoRequest* request);
DESCRIPTION
The DtMmdbSectionGetBookId function returns the object identifier of the book that contains the specified section. Use the DtMmdbFreeHandle
function to release the identifier when it is no longer needed. 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, DtMmdbSectionGet-
BookId uses the locator_ptr value.
RETURN VALUE
If DtMmdbSectionGetBookId completes successfully, it returns a pointer to the book's object identifier. If it fails, it returns a NULL
pointer.
EXAMPLE
The following shows how a DtMmdbSectionGetBookId call might be coded.
DtMmdbInfoRequest request;
/* fill the request here */
handle = DtMmdbSectionGetTocLoc(&request);
