DB->set_re_delim(DB *db, int re_delim);
29
<p>Set the delimiting byte used to mark the end of a record in the backing
30
source file for the Recno access method.
31
<p>This byte is used for variable length records if the <b>re_source</b>
32
file is specified. If the <b>re_source</b> file is specified and no
33
delimiting byte was specified, <newline> characters (that
34
is, ASCII 0x0a) are interpreted as end-of-record markers.
35
<p>The DB->set_re_delim method configures a database, not only operations performed
36
using the specified <a href="../api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle.
37
<p>The DB->set_re_delim interface may not be called after the <a href="../api_c/db_open.html">DB->open</a>
39
If the database already exists when
40
<a href="../api_c/db_open.html">DB->open</a> is called, the information specified to DB->set_re_delim will
42
<p>The DB->set_re_delim method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
44
<p>The DB->set_re_delim method may fail and return a non-zero error for the following conditions:
46
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
47
<p>Called after <a href="../api_c/db_open.html">DB->open</a> was called.
49
<p>The DB->set_re_delim method may fail and return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system functions.
50
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DB->set_re_delim method may fail and
51
return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a>,
52
in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
