Dbxflsh()

PURPOSE

flush I/O buffer cache for tagged index file

SYNOPSIS

#include "dbl.h"
 
	int	dbxflsh(dbx)
 
	<input parameters>
	char	*dbx;		/* Tagged index file descriptor */
 
	<output parameters>
	none

RETURN VALUE

The dbxflsh() function returns 0 for success, or < 0 if an error occurs. See the section on return code values for a detailed list of return codes.

DESCRIPTION

The dbxflsh() function forces the I/O buffer cache of the specified .DBX file to be written to disk.

EXAMPLE

The following example opens the table and tag index, locks the table and tag index, adds in records, flushes the buffers, then unlocks and closes the files.
