mdbm_store

NAME

mdbm_store - store a key/value pair in a mdbm database.

SYNOPSIS

varargs int mdbm_store(int handle, string key, string value, int flag)

DESCRIPTION

Store a key/value pair in a mdbm database that has previously been opened by a call to the mdbm_open() kfun. The "handle" returned by that kfun is used as an argument to this kfun.

If the key already exists in the mdbm database then by default its previous value is replaced by the value passed to this kfun. If the optional flag is present and non-zero the value is not replaced.

Zero is returned to indicate failure, one to indicate success.
