  | code | the error code.

Returns:
  the readable string of the error code.

KCDB* kcdbnew | ( | void |  | ) |

Create a database object.

  the created database object.

Note:
  The object of the return value should be released with the kcdbdel function when it is no longer in use.

void kcdbdel | ( | KCDB * | db | ) |

Destroy a database object.

Parameters:

  | db | the database object.

int32_t kcdbopen | ( | KCDB * | db,
|  | const char * | path,
|  | uint32_t | mode |
| ) |  |  |

Open a database file.

Parameters:

  | db | a database object.

  path

  the path of a database file. If it is "-", the database will be a prototype hash database. If it is "+", the database will be a prototype tree database. If it is "*", the database will be a cache database. If its suffix is ".kch", the database will be a file hash database. If its suffix is ".kct", the database will be a file tree database. Otherwise, this function fails. Tuning parameters can trail the name, separated by "#". Each parameter is composed of the name and the value, separated by "=". If the "type" parameter is specified, the database type is determined by the value in "-", "+", "*", "kch", and "kct". The prototype hash hash database and the prototype tree database do not support any other tuning parameter. The cache database supports "bnum", "capcount", and "capsize". The file hash database supports "apow", "fpow", "opts", "bnum", "msiz", "dfunit", "erstrm", and "ervbs". The file tree database supports all parameters of the file hash database and "psiz", "rcomp", "pccap" in addition.

  mode

  the connection mode. KCOWRITER as a writer, KCOREADER as a reader. The following may be added to the writer mode by bitwise-or: KCOCREATE, which means it creates a new database if the file does not exist, KCOTRUNCATE, which means it creates a new database regardless if the file exists, KCOAUTOTRAN, which means each updating operation is performed in implicit transaction, KCOAUTOSYNC, which means each updating operation is followed by implicit synchronization with the file system. The following may be added to both of the reader mode and the writer mode by bitwise-or: KCONOLOCK, which means it opens the database file without file locking, KCOTRYLOCK, which means locking is performed without blocking, KCONOREPAIR, which means the database file is not repaired implicitly even if file destruction is detected.

Returns:
  true on success, or false on failure.

Note:
  The tuning parameter "bnum" corresponds to the original "tune_bucket" method. "capcount" is for "cap_count". "capsize" is for "cap_size". "apow" is for "tune_alignment". "fpow" is for "tune_fbp". "opts" is for "tune_options" and the value can contain "s" for the small option, "l" for the linear option, and "c" for the copmress option. "msiz" is for "tune_map". "dfunit" is for "tune_defrag". "erstrm" and "ervbs" are for "tune_error_reporter" and the formar value can be "stdout" or "stderr" and the latter value can be "true" or "false". "psiz" is for "tune_page". "rcomp" is for "tune_comparator" and the value can be "lex" for the lexical comparator or "dec" for the decimal comparator. "pccap" is for "tune_page_cache". Every opened database must be closed by the kcdbclose function when it is no longer in use.

  | db | a database object.

Returns:
  the return value is the created cursor object.

Note:
  The object of the return value should be released with the kccurdel function when it is no longer in use.

void kccurdel | ( | KCCUR * | cur | ) |

Destroy a cursor object.

Parameters:

  | cur | the cursor object.

int32_t kccuraccept | ( | KCCUR * | cur,
|  | KCVISITFULL | fullproc,
|  | void * | opq,
|  | int32_t | writable,
|  | int32_t | step |
| ) |  |  |

Accept a visitor to the current record.

Parameters:

  | cur | a cursor object.
  | fullproc | a call back function to visit a record.
  | opq | an opaque pointer to be given to the call back functions.
  | writable | true for writable operation, or false for read-only operation.
  | step | true to move the cursor to the next record, or false for no move.

Returns:
  true on success, or false on failure.

int32_t kccursetvalue | ( | KCCUR * | cur,
|  | const char * | vbuf,
|  | size_t | vsiz,
|  | int32_t | step |
| ) |  |  |

Set the value of the current record.

Parameters:

  | cur | a cursor object.
  | vbuf | the pointer to the value region.
  | vsiz | the size of the value region.
  | step | true to move the cursor to the next record, or false for no move.

Returns:
  true on success, or false on failure.

int32_t kccurremove | ( | KCCUR * | cur | ) |

Remove the current record.

Parameters:

  | cur | a cursor object.

Returns:
  true on success, or false on failure.

Note:
  If no record corresponds to the key, false is returned. The cursor is moved to the next record implicitly.

char* kccurgetkey | ( | KCCUR * | cur,
|  | size_t * | sp,
|  | int32_t | step |
| ) |  |  |

Get the key of the current record.

Parameters:

  | cur | a cursor object.
  | sp | the pointer to the variable into which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.
  | step | true to move the cursor to the next record, or false for no move.

Returns:
  the pointer to the key region of the current record, or NULL on failure.

Note:
  If the cursor is invalidated, NULL is returned. Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a C-style string. The region of the return value should be released with the kcfree function when it is no longer in use.

char* kccurgetvalue | ( | KCCUR * | cur,
|  | size_t * | sp,
|  | int32_t | step |
| ) |  |  |

Get the value of the current record.

Parameters:

  | cur | a cursor object.
  | sp | the pointer to the variable into which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.
  | step | true to move the cursor to the next record, or false for no move.

Returns:
  the pointer to the value region of the current record, or NULL on failure.

Note:
  If the cursor is invalidated, NULL is returned. Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a C-style string. The region of the return value should be released with the kcfree function when it is no longer in use.

char* kccurget | ( | KCCUR * | cur,
|  | size_t * | ksp,
|  | const char ** | vbp,
|  | size_t * | vsp,
|  | int32_t | step |
| ) |  |  |

Get a pair of the key and the value of the current record.

Parameters:

  | cur | a cursor object.
  | ksp | the pointer to the variable into which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.
  | vbp | the pointer to the variable into which the pointer to the value region is assigned.
  | vsp | the pointer to the variable into which the size of the value region is assigned.
  | step | true to move the cursor to the next record, or false for no move.

Returns:
  the pointer to the pair of the key region, or NULL on failure.

Note:
  If the cursor is invalidated, NULL is returned. Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of each region of the key and the value, each region can be treated as a C-style string. The region of the return value should be released with the kcfree function when it is no longer in use.

int32_t kccurjump | ( | KCCUR * | cur | ) |

Jump the cursor to the first record.

Parameters:

  | cur | a cursor object.

Returns:
  true on success, or false on failure.

Parameters:

  | cur | a cursor object.
  | kbuf | the pointer to the key region.
