The cdbw functions are used to create a
constant databases for use with
cdbr(3). Details about the file
format, including overhead and limitations, can be found in
cdb(5).
cdbw_open()
prepares a new cdb writer. The function returns a
handle to pass to the other functions.
cdbw_close()
frees all resources associated with the handle.
cdbw_put()
adds the given (key,value) pair after checking for a duplicate key.
cdbw_put_data()
adds the given value to the writer without adding a key reference. The
returned index can be used in subsequent calls to
cdbw_put_key()
to add one or more keys pointing to this value.
cdbw_put_key() checks for duplicate keys and valid
index arguments. On success it adds the given key.
cdbw_output()
computes the database file and writes it to the given descriptor. The
function returns an error if the file cannot be written correctly. The
descr parameter, a string of up to 16 bytes, provides
a human readable description of the database content. The
seedgen parameter can be used to override the default
PRNG. The bitwise layout of the output depends on the chosen seed. The
function should return a different value for each invocation. The
cdbw_stable_seeder()
can be used to create reproducible output. It may be slower than the
default.
Support for the cdb format first appeared
in NetBSD 6.0.
The cdbr and cdbw
functions have been written by Joerg Sonnenberger
<joerg@NetBSD.org>.
