RECNO(3) BSD Library Functions Manual RECNO(3)
NAME
recno -- record number database access method
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <db.h>
DESCRIPTION
The routine dbopen() is the library interface to database files. One of the supported file formats is record number files. The general
description of the database access methods is in dbopen(3), this manual page describes only the recno specific information.
The record number data structure is either variable or fixed-length records stored in a flat-file format, accessed by the logical record num-
ber. The existence of record number five implies the existence of records one through four, and the deletion of record number one causes
record number five to be renumbered to record number four, as well as the cursor, if positioned after record number one, to shift down one
record.
The recno access method specific data structure provided to dbopen() is defined in the <db.h> include file as follows:
typedef struct {
u_long flags;
u_int cachesize;
u_int psize;
int lorder;
size_t reclen;
u_char bval;
char *bfname;
} RECNOINFO;
The elements of this structure are defined as follows:
flags The flag value is specified by or'ing any of the following values:
R_FIXEDLEN
The records are fixed-length, not byte delimited. The structure element reclen specifies the length of the record, and the
structure element bval is used as the pad character. Any records, inserted into the database, that are less than reclen
bytes long are automatically padded.
R_NOKEY
In the interface specified by dbopen(), the sequential record retrieval fills in both the caller's key and data structures.
If the R_NOKEY flag is specified, the cursor routines are not required to fill in the key structure. This permits applica-
tions to retrieve records at the end of files without reading all of the intervening records.
R_SNAPSHOT
This flag requires that a snapshot of the file be taken when dbopen() is called, instead of permitting any unmodified records
to be read from the original file.
cachesize
A suggested maximum size, in bytes, of the memory cache. This value is only advisory, and the access method will allocate more mem-
ory rather than fail. If cachesize is 0 (no size is specified) a default cache is used.
psize The recno access method stores the in-memory copies of its records in a btree. This value is the size (in bytes) of the pages used
for nodes in that tree. If psize is 0 (no page size is specified) a page size is chosen based on the underlying file system I/O
block size. See btree(3) for more information.
lorder The byte order for integers in the stored database metadata. The number should represent the order as an integer; for example, big
endian order would be the number 4,321. If lorder is 0 (no order is specified) the current host order is used.
reclen The length of a fixed-length record.
bval The delimiting byte to be used to mark the end of a record for variable-length records, and the pad character for fixed-length
records. If no value is specified, newlines (``
'') are used to mark the end of variable-length records and fixed-length records
are padded with spaces.
bfname The recno access method stores the in-memory copies of its records in a btree. If bfname is non-NULL, it specifies the name of the
btree file, as if specified as the file name for a dbopen() of a btree file.
The data part of the key/data pair used by the recno access method is the same as other access methods. The key is different. The data
field of the key should be a pointer to a memory location of type recno_t, as defined in the <db.h> include file. This type is normally the
largest unsigned integral type available to the implementation. The size field of the key should be the size of that type.
Because there can be no meta-data associated with the underlying recno access method files, any changes made to the default values (e.g.
fixed record length or byte separator value) must be explicitly specified each time the file is opened.
In the interface specified by dbopen(), using the put interface to create a new record will cause the creation of multiple, empty records if
the record number is more than one greater than the largest record currently in the database.
ERRORS
The recno access method routines may fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the library routine dbopen(3) or the following:
[EINVAL] An attempt was made to add a record to a fixed-length database that was too large to fit.
