dce_db_iter_next_by_name(3dce)
During iteration, returns the next key from a backing store indexed by string
Synopsis
#include <dce/dce.h>
#include <dce/dbif.h>
void dce_db_iter_next_by_name(
dce_db_handle_t handle,
char **key,
error_status_t *status);
Parameters
Input
handle
A handle, returned from dce_db_open( ), that identifies the backing store being used.
Output
key
The string that is the key to the item in the backing store.
status
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.
Description
The dce_db_iter_next_by_name( ) routine retrieves the next key from the backing store that is identified by the handle parameter. An iterator
established by the dce_db_iter_start( ) routine maintains the identity of the current key. Use the dce_db_fetch_by_name( ) routine to retrieve the actual data.
This iteration routine is the same as dce_db_iter_next( ), except that it only works with backing stores indexed by name, and returns an error if the backing store index is the wrong type.
The iteration routine returns a pointer to a private space associated with the handle. Each call to the iteration routine reuses the space, instead of using allocated space.
Errors
The following describes a partial list of errors that might be returned. Refer to the OSF DCE Problem Determination Guide for complete descriptions of all error messages.
db_s_no_more
All the keys in the backing store have been accessed; there are no more iterations remaining to be done.
error_status_ok
The call was successful.
