pdb_Read(3)

NAME
pdb_Read pdb_Write - read, write Palm database files

LIBRARY
libpdb

SYNOPSIS
#include <pdb.h>
struct pdb *
pdb_Read(int fd);
int
pdb_Write(const struct pdb *db, int fd);

DESCRIPTION
pdb_Read reads a Palm PDB or PRC file from the file descriptor fd, which must already have been opened for reading. fd must be seekable.

pdb_Read allocates a new struct pdb and returns a pointer to it. This should later be freed using free_pdb().

pdb_Write() writes the PDB pointed to by db to the file descriptor fd, which must already be opened for writing. fd need not be seekable.

RETURN VALUE
pdb_Read returns a pointer to a newly-allocated struct pdb if successful, or NULL in case of error.

pdb_Write returns 0 if successful, or a negative value in case of error.
