PURPOSE
specify file operation mode
SYNOPSIS
#include "dbl.h" int dbfilemode(shared, readonly) <input parameters> int shared; /* 1 for shared file access otherwise 0 */ int readonly; /* 1 for readonly file access otherwise 0 */ <output parameters> none
RETURN VALUE
The dbfilemode() function returns 0 for success. See the section on return code values for a detailed list of return codes.
DESCRIPTION
The dbfilemode() function is used to determine how files will be opened. The first parameter specifies if the file is to be opened shared or for exclusive use. The second parameter specifies if the file will be opened read-only or with update privilege.
NOTE: when files are opened in a shareable mode, manual locking using library functions must be implemented.
EXAMPLE
The following example opens a database file with shared access and with read/write privilege.
#include "dbl.h" int dbf; /* .DBF file descriptor */ int rc; /* Return code */ rc = dbfilemode(1,0); if (rc = = SUCCESS) printf("database opened \n"); rc = dbopen("accounts.dbf", &dbf); if (rc = = SUCCESS) printf("database opened \n"); else { printf("error number %d \n", rc); } }
