NAME

pdb_Read pdb_Write - read, write Palm database files

LIBRARY

libpdb

SYNOPSIS

#include <pdb.h>
struct pdb *
pdb_Read(int fd);
int
pdb_Write(const struct pdb *db, int fd);

DESCRIPTION

pdb_Read reads a Palm PDB or PRC file from the file descrip

tor fd, which must already have been opened for reading. fd must

be seekable.

pdb_Read allocates a new struct pdb and returns a pointer to

it. This should later be freed using free_pdb().

pdb_Write() writes the PDB pointed to by db to the file de

scriptor fd, which must already be opened for writing. fd need

not be seekable.

RETURN VALUE

pdb_Read returns a pointer to a newly-allocated struct pdb

if successful, or NULL in case of error.

pdb_Write returns 0 if successful, or a negative value in

case of error.
