int32_t kcdbopen | ( | KCDB * | db,
|  | const char * | path,
|  | uint32_t | mode
| ) |  |

Open a database file.

Parameters:

  db | a database object.

  path

  the path of a database file. If it is "-", the database will be a prototype hash database. If it is "+", the database will be a prototype tree database. If it is ":", the database will be a stash database. If it is "*", the database will be a cache hash database. If it is "%", the database will be a cache tree database. If its suffix is ".kch", the database will be a file hash database. If its suffix is ".kct", the database will be a file tree database. If its suffix is ".kcd", the database will be a directory hash database. If its suffix is ".kcf", the database will be a directory tree database. If its suffix is ".kcx", the database will be a plain text database. Otherwise, this function fails. Tuning parameters can trail the name, separated by "#". Each parameter is composed of the name and the value, separated by "=". If the "type" parameter is specified, the database type is determined by the value in "-", "+", ":", "*", "%", "kch", "kct", "kcd", kcf", and "kcx". All database types support the logging parameters of "log", "logkinds", and "logpx". The prototype hash database and the prototype tree database do not support any other tuning parameter. The stash database supports "bnum". The cache hash database supports "opts", "bnum", "zcomp", "capcnt", "capsiz", and "zkey". The cache tree database supports all parameters of the cache hash database except for capacity limitation, and supports "psiz", "rcomp", "pccap" in addition. The file hash database supports "apow", "fpow", "opts", "bnum", "msiz", "dfunit", "zcomp", and "zkey". The file tree database supports all parameters of the file hash database and "psiz", "rcomp", "pccap" in addition. The directory hash database supports "opts", "zcomp", and "zkey". The directory tree database supports all parameters of the directory hash database and "psiz", "rcomp", "pccap" in addition. The plain text database does not support any other tuning parameter.

  mode

  the connection mode. KCOWRITER as a writer, KCOREADER as a reader. The following may be added to the writer mode by bitwise-or: KCOCREATE, which means it creates a new database if the file does not exist, KCOTRUNCATE, which means it creates a new database regardless if the file exists, KCOAUTOTRAN, which means each updating operation is performed in implicit transaction, KCOAUTOSYNC, which means each updating operation is followed by implicit synchronization with the file system. The following may be added to both of the reader mode and the writer mode by bitwise-or: KCONOLOCK, which means it opens the database file without file locking, KCOTRYLOCK, which means locking is performed without blocking, KCONOREPAIR, which means the database file is not repaired implicitly even if file destruction is detected.

Returns:
  true on success, or false on failure.

Note:
