NAME

cdb_init, cdb_initat, cdb_init_fromfd - initialize a cdb

SYNOPSIS

#include <limb/cdb.h>
int cdb_init(cdb *c, const char *file)
int cdb_initat(cdb *c, int dfd, const char *file)
int cdb_init_fromfd(cdb *c, int fd)

DESCRIPTION

The cdb_init() function initializes the cdb pointed to by c, which must be CDB_ZERO before the call, by mapping the file named file, which must be a valid cdb.

The cdb_initat() function is similar to cdb_init() except when file refer to a relative path, in which case it is relative to the directory described by the file descriptor dfd.

The cdb_init_fromfd() function is similar to cdb_init() except that the file must already be opened and readable via file descriptor fd.

RETURN VALUE

These functions return 1 on success. Otherwise, they return 0 and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

These functions may fail if :

EOVERFLOW

The file is too large. A cdb database must be under 4 GiB.

They may also fail and set errno for the errors described for fstat(3) and mmap(3).

The cdb_init() function may also fail and set errno for the errors described for openc_read(3).

The cdb_initat() function may also fail and set errno for the errors described for openc_readat(3).
