DBcursor->c_close(DBC *cursor);
29
<p>The DBcursor->c_close method discards the cursor.
30
<p>It is possible for the DBcursor->c_close method to return
31
<a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK">DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK</a>, signaling that any enclosing transaction should
32
be aborted. If the application is already intending to abort the
33
transaction, this error should be ignored, and the application should
35
<p>After DBcursor->c_close has been called, regardless of its return, the
36
cursor handle may not be used again.
37
<p>The DBcursor->c_close method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
39
<p>The DBcursor->c_close method may fail and return a non-zero error for the following conditions:
41
<p><dt>DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK<dd>The operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.
44
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
45
<p>The cursor was previously closed.
47
<p>The DBcursor->c_close method may fail and return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system functions.
48
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DBcursor->c_close method may fail and
49
return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a>,
50
in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
