.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
library provides a space efficient (key,value) database based
|
|
on perfect hashing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A cdb database is opened for reading by calling
|
|
.Fn cdbr_open .
|
|
The only supported value for
|
|
.Va flags
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv CDBR_DEFAULT .
|
|
The function returns a handle to pass to the other functions.
|
|
The database is closed by invoking
|
|
.Fn cdbr_close .
|
|
All resources associated with the handle are freed and the memory
|
|
returned by
|
|
.Fn cdbr_get
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cdbr_find
|
|
is invalidated.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The number of records in the database can be obtained by calling
|
|
.Fn cdbr_entries .
|
|
Records can be obtained by record number using
|
|
.Fn cdbr_get
|
|
or by key using
|
|
.Fn cdbr_find .
|
|
Both functions return 0 on success and update
|
|
.Va data
|
|
and
|
|
.Va datalen
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
The location
|
|
.Va *data
|
|
remains valid until
|
|
.Fn cdbr_close
|
|
is called.
|
|
It is the responsibility of the caller of
|
|
.Fn cdbr_find
|
|
to ensure that the key matches the returned data.
|
|
The function returns the only possible match, but the database doesn't store
|
|
the keys to minimize overhead.
