db_env_set_func_seek(int (*func_seek)(int fd, size_t pgsize,
db_pgno_t pageno, u_int32_t relative, int rewind, int whence));
Description
The Berkeley DB library requires the ability to specify that a subsequent read
from or write to a file will occur at a specific location in that file.
The func_seek argument must conform to the following interface:
int seek(int fd, size_t pgsize, db_pgno_t pageno,
u_int32_t relative, int rewind, int whence);
The fd argument is an open file descriptor on the file.
The seek function must cause a subsequent read from or write to
the file to occur at a byte offset specified by the calculation:
(pgsize * pageno) + relative
If rewind is non-zero, the byte offset is treated as a backwards
seek, not a forwards one.
The whence argument specifies where in the file the byte offset
is relative to, as described by the IEEE/ANSI Std 1003.1 (POSIX) lseek system
call.
The func_seek function must return the value of errno on
failure and 0 on success.
The db_env_set_func_seek interface affects the entire application, not a single
database or database environment.
While the db_env_set_func_seek interface may be used to configure Berkeley DB at any time
during the life of the application, it should normally be called before
making any calls to the db_env_create or db_create functions.
The db_env_set_func_seek function returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
