result; if additional parameters should be returned to the client application, then they are returned by reference, that is a pointer to them is passed by value to the client library function; Eg._kernel_oserror *sp_create_session(const ttmode monmode, TYPSID *const pcsid);
*pcsid
.
In addition to the errors returned by the Transact engine, the client library generates its own error codes which are:
mstubs.o | object file to be linked with your client application object files |
transact.h | definitions common to ther server and the client sides of the Transact engine |
client.h | definitions and prototypes specific to the client side |
#define __CLIENT__ #include "transact.h"Here are the constants and datatypes defined in the headers which are of some use to the client application:
Name | Type | Comment |
TYPSID | t | Session's external ID |
---|---|---|
TYPCID | t | Cursor's external ID |
TYPOID | t | Data object external ID |
mfpos_t | t | Offset of a byte from the beginning of a file or difference between two offsets |
ttmode | t | Session's transaction mode |
DIRTY_READ,
READ_COMMITED, REPEATABLE_READ |
c | Transaction modes |
ALLOW_BACKWARDS | c | Cursor creation option |
ERR_BUSY,
ERR_UNKNOWN_SESSION, ERR_UNKNOWN_OBJECT, ERR_UNKNOWN_CURSOR, ERR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY, ERR_INVALID_PARMS, ERR_INAPROPRIATE_CURSOR_MODE, ERR_CONFLICT_WITH_ANOTHER, ERR_CURSOR_IN_USE |
c | Error reason codes as returned from the Transact engine and returned unmodified by the C client library. |
