Description

Set the delimiting byte used to mark the end of a record in the backing source file for the Recno access method.

This byte is used for variable length records if the re_source file is specified. If the re_source file is specified and no delimiting byte was specified, <newline> characters (that is,ASCII 0x0a) are interpreted as end-of-record markers.

The DB→set_re_delim interface may only be used to configure Berkeley DB before the DB→open interface is called.

The DB→set_re_delim function returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

Errors

• EINVAL An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.

  Called after DB→open was called.
