NAME

new_Record - short description

LIBRARY

libpdb

SYNOPSIS

#include <pdb.h>
struct pdb *
new_Record(const ubyte flags, const  ubyte  category,  const
udword id, const uword len, const ubyte *data);
void
pdb_FreeRecord(struct pdb_record *rec);
struct pdb_resource *
new_Resource(const  udword type, const uword id, const uword
len, const ubyte *data);
void
pdb_FreeResource(struct pdb_resource *rsrc);

DESCRIPTION

new_Record allocates space for a new struct pdb_record and

initializes it from the given variables. flags is the bitwise-or

of zero or more of the PDB_REC_* flags from <pdb.h>. category is

an index into the database's category table, if it has one. id

is the record's ID. len is the length of the data pointed to by

data. The record's data will be initialized from this. The data

is copied.

new_Resource is similar to new_Record, but allocates a new

struct pdb_resource.

pdb_FreeRecord frees a struct pdb_record allocated by

new_Record.

pdb_FreeResource frees a struct pdb_resource allocated by

new_Resource.

RETURN VALUE

new_Record and new_Resource return a pointer to the new

struct pdb_record or struct pdb_resource if successful, or NULL

in case of error.
