SYNOPSIS
#include <tdb.h> int tdb_store(TDB_CONTEXT *tdb, TDB_DATA key, TDB_DATA record, int flag);
DESCRIPTION
- Store a lump of data pointed to by record in the tdb database under the
index pointed to by key. The TDB_DATA structure used by both key and
record is defined as:
- typedef struct {
char *dptr;
size_t dsize; - } TDB_DATA;
- The flag determines the way that tdb_store behaves and can be any one of the following values.
- TDB_REPLACE
- Insert a record creating a new one or overwriting an existing one.
- TDB_INSERT
- Insert a new entry but refuse to overwrite an existing entry.
- TDB_MODIFY
- Replace an existing record with a new one. This will fail if, a record does not already exist.
