int btupd(
BTA* btact, char* key, char* data, int dsize)
;
The btupd
function updates the data
record of an existing key in the file associated with the
btact
context pointer. Both
key
and data
are
character pointers. Since the data may legitimately contain
null (x'00) characters, the length of the data, in bytes, must
be passed in dsize
. If the replacement
data is successfully stored in the B Tree file,
btupd
returns zero.
If btupd
is called with a
key
value of NULL, the update operation
will act against the current key, as selected by
btsel
, btseln
or
btselp
operations. This capability is
designed to allow update of a duplicate key, presumably based
on other, application managed, attributes.
A non-zero return from btupd
indicates an
error occurred.
