DBcursor->c_count(DBC *cursor, db_recno_t *countp, u_int32_t flags);
29
<p>The DBcursor->c_count method returns a count of the number of duplicate data
30
items for the key to which the
31
cursor refers, into the memory location to which <b>countp</b> refers.
32
If the underlying database does not support duplicate data items, the
33
call will still succeed and a count of 1 will be returned.
34
<p>The <b>flags</b> parameter is currently unused, and must be set to 0.
36
If the <b>cursor</b> argument is not yet initialized, the DBcursor->c_count method will return EINVAL.
37
Otherwise, the DBcursor->c_count method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
39
<p>The DBcursor->c_count method may fail and return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system functions.
40
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DBcursor->c_count method may fail and
41
return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a>,
42
in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
