# shisa\_cfg(3)

API function

## NAME

shisa\_cfg - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<shisa.h\>**

**int shisa\_cfg(Shisa \*** *dbh***, const char \*** *option***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- Shisa \* dbh

  Shisa library handle created by **shisa()**.

- const char \* option

  String with options to prime the Shisa library.

## DESCRIPTION

Configures the Shisa library from the specification *option*. This call expects a string declaration of the form "db=VALUE", or "db VALUE".  Here VALUE is the same declaration as used by **shisa\_cfg\_db()**, i.e., of the form "TYPE\[ LOCATION\[ PARAMETER\]\]".

The prefix "db", mandatory in *option*, makes **shisa\_cfg()** suited to a syntax with key-value pairs also in PARAMETER.

## RETURN VALUE

Returns **SHISA\_OK** if *option* is valid.
