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 multible 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);

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.

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 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, ‘TCEUNLINK’ for unlink
error, ‘TCERENAME’ for rename error, ‘TCEMKDIR’ for mkdir
error, ‘TCERMDIR’ for rmdir error, ‘TCEKEEP’ for existing

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.

records by lexical order. The functions ‘tccmplexical’
(dafault), ‘tccmpdecimal’, ‘tccmpint32’, and ‘tccmpint64’

exist, ‘BDBOTRUNC’, which means it creates a new database
regardless if one exists, ‘BDBOTSYNC’, which means every

‘bdb’ specifies the B+ tree database object.
‘path’ specifies the path of the destination file. If it
begins with ‘@’, the trailing substring is executed as a
command line.
If successful, the return value is true, else, it is
false. False is returned if the executed command returns
non-zero code.
The database file is assured to be kept synchronized and
not modified while the copying or executing operation is
in progress. So, this function is useful to create a
backup file of the database file.

‘bdb’ specifies the B+ tree database object connected as
a writer.
If successful, the return value is true, else, it is
false.
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 aborted implicitly.

transaction of a B+ tree database object.
bool tcbdbtrancommit(TCBDB *bdb);

of a B+ tree database object.
bool tcbdbtranabort(TCBDB *bdb);
‘bdb’ specifies the B+ tree database object connected as

before transaction.

key or the next substitute if completely matching record
does not exist.

‘cur’ specifies the cursor object of writer connection.
‘vbuf’ specifies the pointer to the region of the value.
‘vsiz’ specifies the size of the region of the value.
‘cpmode’ specifies detail adjustment: ‘BDBCPCURRENT’,
which means that the value of the current record is
overwritten, ‘BDBCPBEFORE’, which means that the new
record is inserted 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.

record where the cursor object is.
char *tcbdbcurkey(BDBCUR *cur, int *sp);
‘cur’ specifies the cursor object.
‘sp’ specifies the pointer to the variable into which the
size of the region of the return 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.
The function ‘tcbdbcurkey2’ is used in order to get the key string of
the record where the cursor object is.

size of the region of the return value is assigned.

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 volatile and it may be spoiled by another
operation of the database, the data should be copied into
another involatile buffer immediately.

record where the cursor object is.

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.

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