|
manpage.

<P><B>> berkdb dbminit <I>filename</I></B>
|
|
<P>This command will invoke the dbminit function. <B><I>Filename</I></B>
|
|
is used as the name of the database.
|
|
<P>
|

<P>
|
|
<HR WIDTH="100%"><B>> berkdb fetch <I>key</I></B>
|
|
<P>This command will invoke the fetch function. It will return
|
|
the data associated with the given <B><I>key </I></B>or a Tcl error.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<HR WIDTH="100%"><B>> berkdb store <I>key data</I></B>
|
|
<P>This command will invoke the store function. It will store
|
|
the <B><I>key/data</I></B> pair. It will return a 0 on success or
|
|
throw a Tcl error.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<HR WIDTH="100%"><B>> berkdb delete <I>key</I></B>
|
|
<P>This command will invoke the deletet function. It will delete
|
|
the <B><I>key</I></B> from the database. It will return a 0 on success
|
|
or throw a Tcl error.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<HR WIDTH="100%"><B>> berkdb firstkey</B>
|
|
<P>This command will invoke the firstkey function. It will
|
|
return the first key in the database or a Tcl error.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<HR WIDTH="100%"><B>> berkdb nextkey <I>key</I></B>
|
|
<P>This command will invoke the nextkey function. It will return
|
|
the next key after the given <B><I>key</I></B> or a Tcl error.

|
|
elements. It will return a 0 on success or a Tcl error.

|
|
and <B><I>data</I></B>. The <B><I>action</I></B> must be either <B>find</B>
|
|
or <B>enter</B>. If it is <B>find</B>, it will return the resultant
|
|

|
|
<HR WIDTH="100%"><B>> berkdb ndbm_open [-create] [-rdonly] [-truncate]
|
|
[-mode
|
|
<I>mode</I>] [--] <I>filename</I></B>
|
|
<P>This command will invoke the dbm_open function. After
|
|
it successfully gets a handle to a database, we bind it to a new Tcl command
|
|
of the form <B><I>ndbmX, </I></B>where X is an integer starting at 0 (e.g.
|
|
<B>ndbm0,
|
|
ndbm1, </B>etc). We use the <I>Tcl_CreateObjCommand() </I> to
|
|
create the top level database function. It is through this handle
|
|
that the user can access all of the commands described below. Internally,
|
|
the database handle is sent as the <I>ClientData</I> portion of the new
|
|
command set so that all future database calls access the appropriate handle.
|
|
<P>The arguments are:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>
|
|
<B>-- </B>- Terminate the list of options and use remaining arguments as
|
|
the file or subdb names (thus allowing the use of filenames beginning with
|
|
a dash '-')</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
<B>-create</B> selects the O_CREAT flag to create underlying files</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
<B>-rdonly</B> selects the O_RDONLY flag for opening in read-only mode</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
<B>-truncate</B> selects the O_TRUNC flag to truncate the database</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
<B>-mode<I> mode</I></B> specifies the mode for created files</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
<B><I>filename</I></B> indicates the name of the database</LI>
|
|
</UL>

<BR><B>> <ndbm> close</B>

It returns either a 0 (for success), or it throws a Tcl error with

a system message.
|

<P>Additionally, since the handle is no longer valid, we will call <I>Tcl_DeleteCommand()
|
|
</I>so
|
|
that further uses of the handle will be dealt with properly by Tcl itself.
