+.TH TDB_OPEN 3 "Aug 16, 2000" "Samba" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+tdb_open \- Open a tdb database.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <tdb.h>
+.sp
+.BI "TDB_CONTEXT *tdb_open(const char *" pathname ", int " hash_size ","
+.BI " int " tdb_flags ", int " open_flags ", mode_t " mode " );"
+.sp
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Open the database, creating it if necessary. The
+.I hash
+size is advisory, use zero for a default value.
+.I tdb_flags
+can be one of
+.TP
+.B TDB_CLEAR_IF_FIRST
+Clear database if we are the only one with it open.
+.TP
+.B TDB_INTERNAL
+Don't use a file, instead store the data in memory. The
+.I pathname
+,
+.I open_flags
+, and
+.I mode
+are ignored in
+this case. This is useful if you need a quick associative array or map.
+.TP
+.B TDB_NOLOCK
+Don't do any locking (this is always turned on for read-only file
+descriptors)
+.TP
+.B TDB_NOMMAP
+Don't use mmap.
+.TP
+.B TDB_CONVERT
+Create a database in the reverse of native endian: normally when the
+database is created (or cleared with TDB_CLEAR_IF_FIRST), it is
+created in native endian order. This flag is set (or unset)
+automatically for existing databases.
+.PP
+The
+.I open_flags
+and
+.I mode
+are passed straight to the open call on the database file. A flags
+value of O_WRONLY is invalid.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+On success a pointer to an opaque data structure, a TDB_CONTEXT is
+returned. On error a NULL is returned.
