CDBR(3)			 BSD Library Functions Manual		       CDBR(3)

NAME
     cdbr cdbr_open, cdbr_entries, cdbr_get, cdbr_find, cdbr_close, cdbr_write
     — constant database access methods

SYNOPSIS
     struct cdbr *
     cdbr_open(const char *path, int flags);

     uint32_t
     cdbr_entries(struct cdbr *cdbr);

     int
     cdbr_get(struct cdbr *cdbr, uint32_t index, const void **data,
	 size_t *datalen);

     int
     cdbr_find(struct cdbr *cdbr, const void *key, size_t keylen,
	 const void **data, size_t *datalen);

     void
     cdbr_close(struct cdbr *cdbr);

DESCRIPTION
     The cdbr library provides a space efficient (key,value) database based on
     perfect hashing.

     A cdb database is opened for reading by calling cdbr_open().  The only
     supported value for flags is CDBR_DEFAULT.	 The function returns a handle
     to pass to the other functions.  The database is closed by invoking
     cdbr_close().  All resources associated with the handle are freed and the
     memory returned by cdbr_get() and cdbr_find() is invalidated.

     The number of records in the database can be obtained by calling
     cdbr_entries().  Records can be obtained by record number using
     cdbr_get() or by key using cdbr_find().  Both functions return 0 on suc‐
     cess and update data and datalen accordingly.  The location *data remains
     valid until cdbr_close() is called.  It is the responsibility of the
     caller of cdbr_find() to ensure that the key matches the returned data.
     The function returns the only possible match, but the database doesn't
     store the keys to minimize overhead.
