NAME
tcbdb - the B+ tree database API
DESCRIPTION
B+ tree database is a file containing a B+ tree and is handled with the B+ tree database API.
To use the B+ tree database API, include `tcutil.h', `tcbdb.h', and related standard header files.
Usually, write the following description near the front of a source file.
#include <tcutil.h>
#include <tcbdb.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdint.h>
Objects whose type is pointer to `TCBDB' are used to handle B+ tree databases. A B+ tree database object
is created with the function `tcbdbnew' and is deleted with the function `tcbdbdel'. To avoid memory
leak, it is important to delete every object when it is no longer in use.
Before operations to store or retrieve records, it is necessary to open a database file and connect the
B+ tree database object to it. The function `tcbdbopen' is used to open a database file and the function
`tcbdbclose' is used to close the database file. To avoid data missing or corruption, it is important to
close every database file when it is no longer in use. It is forbidden for multiple database objects in
a process to open the same database at the same time.
API
The function `tcbdberrmsg' is used in order to get the message string corresponding to an error code.
const char *tcbdberrmsg(int ecode);
`ecode' specifies the error code.
The return value is the message string of the error code.
The function `tcbdbnew' is used in order to create a B+ tree database object.
TCBDB *tcbdbnew(void);
The return value is the new B+ tree database object.
The function `tcbdbdel' is used in order to delete a B+ tree database object.
void tcbdbdel(TCBDB *bdb);
`bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object.
If the database is not closed, it is closed implicitly. Note that the deleted object and
its derivatives can not be used anymore.
The function `tcbdbecode' is used in order to get the last happened error code of a B+ tree database
object.
int tcbdbecode(TCBDB *bdb);
`bdb' specifies the B+ tree database object.
The return value is the last happened error code.
The following error codes are defined: `TCESUCCESS' for success, `TCETHREAD' for threading
error, `TCEINVALID' for invalid operation, `TCENOFILE' for file not found, `TCENOPERM' for
no permission, `TCEMETA' for invalid meta data, `TCERHEAD' for invalid record header,
`TCEOPEN' for open error, `TCECLOSE' for close error, `TCETRUNC' for trunc error, `TCESYNC'
for sync error, `TCESTAT' for stat error, `TCESEEK' for seek error, `TCEREAD' for read
error, `TCEWRITE' for write error, `TCEMMAP' for mmap error, `TCELOCK' for lock error,

`TCERMDIR' for rmdir error, `TCEKEEP' for existing record, `TCENOREC' for no record found,
and `TCEMISC' for miscellaneous error.

parameters. The first parameter is the pointer to the region of one key. The second
parameter is the size of the region of one key. The third parameter is the pointer to the
region of the other key. The fourth parameter is the size of the region of the other key.
The fifth parameter is the pointer to the optional opaque object. It returns positive if
the former is big, negative if the latter is big, 0 if both are equivalent.
`cmpop' specifies an arbitrary pointer to be given as a parameter of the comparison
function. If it is not needed, `NULL' can be specified.
If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
The default comparison function compares keys of two records by lexical order. The

database regardless if one exists, `BDBOTSYNC', which means every transaction synchronizes
updated contents with the device. Both of `BDBOREADER' and `BDBOWRITER' can be added to by

The database is locked by the thread while the transaction so that only one transaction can
be activated with a database object at the same time. Thus, the serializable isolation
level is assumed if every database operation is performed in the transaction. Because all
pages are cached on memory while the transaction, the amount of referred records is limited
by the memory capacity. If the database is closed during transaction, the transaction is

before the current record, `BDBCPAFTER', which means that the new record is inserted after
the current record.
If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false. False is returned when the
cursor is at invalid position.
After insertion, the cursor is moved to the inserted record.

value is assigned.
If successful, the return value is the pointer to the region of the key, else, it is
`NULL'. `NULL' is returned when the cursor is at invalid position.
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 character string. Because the region of the return
value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call when
it is no longer in use.

is.
char *tcbdbcurkey2(BDBCUR *cur);

value is assigned.

`NULL'. `NULL' is returned when the cursor is at invalid position.
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 character string. Because the region of the return
value is volatile and it may be spoiled by another operation of the database, the data
should be copied into another involatile buffer immediately.

`NULL'. `NULL' is returned when the cursor is at invalid position.
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 character string. Because the region of the return
value is allocated with the `malloc' call, it should be released with the `free' call when
it is no longer in use.

object is.
char *tcbdbcurval2(BDBCUR *cur);

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 character string. Because the region of the return
value is volatile and it may be spoiled by another operation of the database, the data
should be copied into another involatile buffer immediately.
