|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm ndbm
|
|
facility provides access to hash database files.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Two data types are fundamental to the
|
|
.Nm ndbm
|
|
facility.
|
|
.Fa DBM
|
|
serves as a handle to a database.
|
|
It is an opaque type.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The other data type is
|
|
.Fa datum ,
|
|
which is a structure type which includes the following members:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
void * dptr
|
|
size_t dsize
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A
|
|
.Fa datum
|
|
is thus given by
|
|
.Fa dptr
|
|
pointing at an object of
|
|
.Fa dsize
|
|
bytes in length.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_open
|
|
function opens a database.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa file
|
|
argument is the pathname which the actual database file pathname
|
|
is based on.
|
|
This implementation uses a single file with the suffix
|
|
.Pa .db
|
|
appended to
|
|
.Fa file .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa open_flags
|
|
argument has the same meaning as the
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument to
|
|
.Xr open 2
|
|
except that when opening a database for write-only access the file
|
|
is opened for read/write access, and the
|
|
.Dv O_APPEND
|
|
flag must not be specified.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa file_mode
|
|
argument has the same meaning as the
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
argument to
|
|
.Xr open 2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For the following functions, the
|
|
.Fa db
|
|
argument is a handle previously returned by a call to
|
|
.Fn dbm_open .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_close
|
|
function closes a database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_fetch
|
|
function retrieves a record from the database.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
argument is a
|
|
.Fa datum
|
|
that identifies the record to be fetched.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_store
|
|
function stores a record into the database.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
argument is a
|
|
.Fa datum
|
|
that identifies the record to be stored.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa content
|
|
argument is a
|
|
.Fa datum
|
|
that specifies the value of the record to be stored.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa store_mode
|
|
argument specifies the behavior of
|
|
.Fn dbm_store
|
|
if a record matching
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
is already present in the database,
|
|
.Fa db .
|
|
.Fa store_mode
|
|
must be one of the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width DBM_REPLACEXX -offset indent
|
|
.It Dv DBM_INSERT
|
|
If a record matching
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
is already present, it is left unchanged.
|
|
.It Dv DBM_REPLACE
|
|
If a record matching
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
is already present, its value is replaced by
|
|
.Fa content .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no record matching
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
is present, a new record is inserted regardless of
|
|
.Fa store_mode .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_delete
|
|
function deletes a record from the database.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
argument is a
|
|
.Fa datum
|
|
that identifies the record to be deleted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_firstkey
|
|
function returns the first key in the database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_nextkey
|
|
function returns the next key in the database.
|
|
In order to be meaningful, it must be preceded by a call to
|
|
.Fn dbm_firstkey .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_error
|
|
function returns the error indicator of the database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_clearerr
|
|
function clears the error indicator of the database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_dirfno
|
|
function returns the file descriptor of the underlying database file.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm ndbm
|
|
facility is implemented on top of the
|
|
.Xr hash 3
|
|
access method of the
|
|
.Xr db 3
|
|
database facility.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_open
|
|
function returns a pointer to a
|
|
.Fa DBM
|
|
when successful; otherwise a null pointer is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_close
|
|
function returns no value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_fetch
|
|
function returns a content
|
|
.Fa datum ;
|
|
if no record matching
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
was found or if an error occured, its
|
|
.Fa dptr
|
|
member is a null pointer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_store
|
|
function returns 0 when then record was successfully inserted;
|
|
it returns 1 when called with
|
|
.Fa store_mode
|
|
being
|
|
.Dv DBM_INSERT
|
|
and a record matching
|
|
.Fa key
|
|
is already present;
|
|
otherwise a negative value is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_delete
|
|
function returns 0 when the record was successfully deleted;
|
|
otherwise a negative value is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_firstkey
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn dbm_nextkey
|
|
functions return a key
|
|
.Fa datum .
|
|
When the end of the database is reached or if an error occured, its
|
|
.Fa dptr
|
|
member is a null pointer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_error
|
|
function returns 0 if the error indicator is clear;
|
|
if the error indicator is set a non-zero value is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_clearerr
|
|
function always returns 0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn dbm_dirfno
|
|
function returns the file descriptor of the underlying database file.
