tdb_fetch(3)

tdb_fetch3

Fetch a record from a tdb database

Usage

#include <tdb.h>

TDB_DATA tdb_fetch(TDB_CONTEXT *tdb, TDB_DATA key);

Overview

Fetch the record from the tdb database whose key matches key , a lump of data that is used as the index into the database.

The TDB_DATA structure used for both the key and the return value is defined as:

typedef struct {
	char *dptr;
	size_t dsize;
} TDB_DATA;

Return value

If the call succeeds, then a TDB_DATA structure is returned with the dptr structure filled in. If the call fails then dptr will be set to NULL.

NOTE: The caller is responsible for freeing the data pointed to by dptr.
