AFOPEN(3) Amberfish AFOPEN(3) NAME afopen - open a database SYNOPSIS #include af.h int afopen(const Afopen *r, Afopen_r *rr); DESCRIPTION The afopen function opens a database so that it can be accessed for searching, updating, etc. The argument r specifies a set of options defined by the following structure: typedef struct { char *dbpath; char *mode; int phrase; int stem; } Afopen; The dbpath option specifies the database to be opened, consisting of a path name. The file names that make up the database are constructed by appending suffixes to this path name. The mode option specifies how the database will be accessed: r Open database for reading. This opens the database files for searching or other read-only access. r+ Open database for reading and writing. This is commonly used to add to or modify an existing database. w+ Open database for reading and writing; the database is created if it does not exist, and otherwise its contents are erased. RETURN VALUE This function returns 0 if it exited normally. If an error occurred, it returns -1 and aferrno is set. If the function exited normally, the structure pointed to by rr is filled in with the following values: typedef struct { Uint2 dbid; } Afopen_r; The dbid value is a database descriptor that can be used to refer to the database while it remains open. ERRORS In addition to the set of "core" errors, this function can return: AFEDBLOCK The database is locked. AFEOPENLIM Too many open databases. AFEVERSION The database was created with an earlier, incompatible version of this library. AFOPEN(3)
