NAME

       PX_create_fp — create a new Paradox file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       int PX_create_fp(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, pxfield_t *fields, int numfields, FILE *fp, int type)

DESCRIPTION

       Creates  a new Paradox document in an already open file with the given field specification. pxdoc must be
       created before with PX_new(3) or PX_new2(3).  The file must  be  opened  in  read/write  mode  (w+)  with
       fopen(3).  fields  is  an  array of numfields field specifications to set the schema of the database. The
       memory for the field specifications and field names must be allocated by the caller and may not be freed,
       since  the  memory  is  freed  when  the document is deleted. Make sure to use the same memory allocation
       function as passed to PX_new(3). The memory for the field names is usually allocated  with  PX_strdup(3).
       The  field  name  can be left empty if a primary index file is to be created. The type of the file can be
       set in the last parameter. Currently only database (pxfFileTypIndexDB, pxfFileTypNonIndexDB) and  primary
       index (pxfFileTypPrimIndex) files are supported.

       After  creating  the  paradox database you may want to call PX_set_tablename(3) in order to set the table
       name as it is stored in the header of the database.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
