+.TH TDB 3 "Aug 16, 2000" "Samba" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+tdb - trivial database
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+A database similar to gdbm which allows multiple simultaneous writers.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This is a simple database API. It was inspired by the realisation that
+in Samba we have several ad-hoc bits of code that essentially
+implement small databases for sharing structures between parts of
+Samba. As I was about to add another I realised that a generic
+database module was called for to replace all the ad-hoc bits.
+.sp
+I based the interface on gdbm. I couldn't use gdbm as we need to be
+able to have multiple writers to the databases at one time.

+.TH TDB_CHAINLOCK 3 "Oct 13, 2000" "Samba" "Linux Programmer's Manual"

+tdb_chainlock \- lock a group of keys

+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.BI "int tdb_chainlock(TDB_CONTEXT *" tdb ", TDB_DATA " key ");"
+.BI "void tdb_chainunlock(TDB_CONTEXT *" tdb ", TDB_DATA " key ");"
+.sp
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I tdb_chainlock
+is a low\-level function used to lock a particular key (and a number of
+other keys) without any checking: any other process attempting to
+perform tdb operations on those keys will block until
+.I tdb_chainunlock
+is called.
+.SH NOTES
+It is the user's responsibility to ensure that they do not deadlock
+the database using these functions: something which is impossible
+using the other access functions.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+A return value of 0 indicates success and \-1 indicates failure.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I tdb_traverse is the only sure way to visit all the items within a

+.I tdb
+Because this function has intimate knowledge of the internals of the
+database, it is able to cope with writers touching the database at the
+same time it is trying to traverse it.
+.sp
+If
+.I fn
+is supplied it will be called with the
+.I state parameter
+for each element in the database, as the forth argument. The First argument is
+the database
+.I tdb
+the second is the key and the third is the data. If this function call returns
+anything but 0, the traversal will stop. Unlike in tdb_fetch() the programmer
+is not required to free either the pointer from either the key or data
+parameters that are passed into the function. The
+.I fn
+function should have the prototype:
+.nf
+.in 10
+int (*tdb_traverse_func)(TDB_CONTEXT *, TDB_DATA, TDB_DATA, void *);
+.fi
+.PP
+.sp
+Calling tdb_traverse with a NULL
+.I fn
+parameter is the appropriate way to count the number of elements in
+the database.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The return value is the number of elements traversed or \-1 if there
+was an error.
