dbh_create(3)		DBHashTables Programmers' Manual	   dbh_create(3)

NAME
     dbh_open, dbh_openR, dbh_create - open or create a new DBHashTable

SYNOPSIS
     #include <dbh.h>

     DBHashTable *dbh_open(constchar*path);
     DBHashTable *dbh_openR(constchar*path);
     DBHashTable *dbh_create (const char *path, unsigned char key_length);

DESCRIPTION
     dbh_open  () opens an existing DBHashTable at path in read/write mode while
     dbh_openR () will open in read-only mode. To create, initialize and open  a
     new  DBHashTable  in read/write mode, dbh_create () is used.  key_length is
     the fixed length of the record access key and must be less than  256.  This
     only need be specified when the DBHashTable is created and initialized.

RETURN VALUE
     On  success,  a pointer to a newly initialized and open DBHashTable or NULL
     if it fails (and errno is set appropriately).

NOTES
      This  function  will  overwrite any file with the specified path including
     any previous DBH file.  Cuantified  keys assure  that  large  DBHashes  are
     spread out optimally.

SEE ALSO
