       cdb_init - open a constant database

SYNTAX

       #include <cdb.h>

       int cdb_init(struct cdb *c,int fd);

DESCRIPTION

       cdb_init  places  information  about  fd  into  a  struct  cdb variable c.  fd has to be a
       seekable file previously opened for reading.

       On systems that support mmap, cdb_init will try to map the whole  constant  database  into
       memory.

       The inverse operation to cdb_init is cdb_free.
