<b>Description: DB->fd</b>
|
|
<p>The DB->fd method provides access to a file descriptor representative
|
|
of the underlying database. A file descriptor referring to the same
|
|
file will be returned to all processes that call <a href="../api_c/db_open.html">DB->open</a> with
|
|
the same <b>file</b> parameter.</p>
|
|
<p>This file descriptor may be safely used as a parameter to the
|
|
<b>fcntl</b>(2) and <b>flock</b>(2) locking functions.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB->fd method only supports a coarse-grained form of locking.
|
|
Applications should instead use the Berkeley DB lock manager where possible.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB->fd method
|
|
returns a non-zero error value on failure
|
|
and 0 on success.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
|
|
<b>fdp</b><ul compact><li>The <b>fdp</b> parameter references memory into which
|
|
the current file descriptor is copied.</ul>
