Functions Documentation

function hse_kvdb_close

hse_err_t hse_kvdb_close(
    struct hse_kvdb * kvdb
)

Close a KVDB.

Parameters:

Return: Error status.

Note: This function is not thread safe.

Warning: After invoking this function, calling any other KVDB functions will result in undefined behavior unless the KVDB is re-opened.

Remark: kvdb must not be NULL.

function hse_kvdb_create

hse_err_t hse_kvdb_create(
    const char * kvdb_home,
    size_t paramc,
    const char *const * paramv
)

Create a KVDB.

Parameters:

  • kvdb_home KVDB home directory.
  • paramc Number of configuration parameters in paramv.
  • paramv List of parameters in key=value format.

Return: Error status.

Note: This function is not thread safe.

Remark: kvdb_home must not be NULL.

function hse_kvdb_drop

hse_err_t hse_kvdb_drop(
    const char * kvdb_home
)

Drop a KVDB.

Parameters:

  • kvdb_home KVDB home directory.

Return: Error status.

Note: This function is not thread safe.

Warning: It is an error to call this function on a KVDB that is open.

Remark: kvdb_home must not be NULL.

function hse_kvdb_home_get

const char * hse_kvdb_home_get(
    struct hse_kvdb * kvdb
)

Get the KVDB home.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • NULL if given an invalid KVDB handle.

Return: KVDB home.

Note: This function is thread safe.

Remark: kvdb must not be NULL.

function hse_kvdb_kvs_names_get

hse_err_t hse_kvdb_kvs_names_get(
    struct hse_kvdb * kvdb,
    size_t * namec,
    char *** namev
)

Get the names of the KVSs within the given KVDB.

Parameters:

  • kvdb KVDB handle from hse_kvdb_open().
  • namec Number of KVSs in the KVDB.
  • namev Vector of KVSs allocated by the function.

Return: Error status.

Note: This function is thread safe.

Remark:

  • kvdb must not be NULL.
  • namev must not be NULL.

Key-value stores (KVSs) are opened by name. This function allocates a vector of allocated strings, each containing the NULL-terminated name of a KVS. The memory must be freed via hse_kvdb_kvs_names_free().

Example Usage:

int namec;
char **namev;
hse_err_t err;

err = hse_kvdb_kvs_names_get(kvdb, &namec, &namev);
if (!err) {
    for (int i = 0; i < namec; i++)
        printf("%s\n", namev[i]);
}
hse_kvdb_kvs_names_free(namev);

Filename: .c

function hse_kvdb_kvs_names_free

void hse_kvdb_kvs_names_free(
    struct hse_kvdb * kvdb,
    char ** namev
)

Free the names collection obtained through hse_kvdb_kvs_names_get().

Parameters:

Note: This function is thread safe.

function hse_kvdb_mclass_info_get

hse_err_t hse_kvdb_mclass_info_get(
    struct hse_kvdb * kvdb,
    enum hse_mclass mclass,
    struct hse_mclass_info * info
)

Get media class information from a KVDB.

Parameters:

  • kvdb KVDB handle from hse_kvdb_open().
  • mclass Media class to query for.
  • info Media class information object.

Return: Error status.

Note: This function is thread safe.

Remark:

  • kvdb must not be NULL.
  • info must not be NULL.

function hse_kvdb_mclass_is_configured

bool hse_kvdb_mclass_is_configured(
    struct hse_kvdb * kvdb,
    enum hse_mclass mclass
)

Check if a media class is configured for a KVDB.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • false if kvdb or mclass is invalid.

Return: Whether or not mclass is configured.

Note: This function is thread safe.

Remark: kvdb must not be NULL.

function hse_kvdb_open

hse_err_t hse_kvdb_open(

    const char *const * paramv,
    struct hse_kvdb ** kvdb
)

Open a KVDB.

Parameters:

  • kvdb_home KVDB home directory.
  • paramc Number of configuration parameters in paramv.
  • paramv List of parameters in key=value format.

  • kvdb_home must not be NULL.
  • kvdb must not be NULL.

function hse_kvdb_param_get

hse_err_t hse_kvdb_param_get(
    struct hse_kvdb * kvdb,
    const char * param,
    char * buf,
    size_t buf_sz,
    size_t * needed_sz
)

Get KVDB parameter.

Parameters:

  • kvdb KVDB handle from hse_kvdb_open().
  • param Parameter name.
  • buf Buffer for writing stringified value of parameter.
  • buf_sz Size of buf.
  • needed_sz Needed size of buf.

Return: Error status.

Note: This function is thread safe.

Remark:

  • kvdb must not be NULL.
  • param must not be NULL.
  • param must be a valid parameter.

Puts the stringified version of the parameter value into buf. If buf_sz is NULL, then needed_sz will still be populated.

function hse_kvdb_storage_add

Note: This function is thread safe.

Remark: kvdb must not be NULL.

Flags:

  • HSE_KVDB_SYNC_ASYNC - Return immediately after initiating operation instead of waiting for completion.

function hse_mclass_name_get

const char * hse_mclass_name_get(
    enum hse_mclass mclass
)

Get the name of a media class.

Parameters:

  • mclass Media class.

Return: Name of media class.
