PURPOSE
get key expression
SYNOPSIS
#include "dbl.h" int dbkexpr(ndx, keytype, keyexpr, keyprlen, keylen) <input parameters> char *ndx; /* .NDX file descriptor */ <output parameters> char keytype; /* Index key data type: 'C' – CHARACTER 'N' – NUMERIC 'D' – DATE */ char *keyexpr; /* Index key expression */ int *kexprlen; /* Length of index key expression */ int *keylen; /* Index key length */
RETURN VALUE
The dbkexpr() 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
This function obtains the index information from the specified .NDX file. This information includes:
- index key data type('C' for CHARACTER keys, 'N' for NUMERIC and 'D' for DATE),
- index key expression (usually a character string consisting of one or more record field names)
- length of the index key expression
- length of the key.
EXAMPLE
This example obtains the index information from the .NDX file whose file descriptor is in "char *ndx" and prints this information on standard output.
#include "dbl.h" char *ndx; /* .NDX file descriptor */ char keytype; /* Key type */ char keyexpr[512]; /* Index key expression */ int keyexprlen; /* Expression length */ int keylen; /* Key length */ int rc; /* Return code */ rc = dbkexpr(ndx, &keytype, keyexpr, &keyexprlen, &keylen); if (rc == SUCCESS){ printf("\t Index file information - \n"); printf("\t \t type = '%c', keyexpression = '%s', exprlen = %d, keylen = %d \n". keytype, keyexpr, keyexprlen, keylen); } else { printf("error number %d \n", rc); exit (1); }
