SYNTAX

       #include "cdmake.h"

       int cdb_make_start(struct cdb *c,int fd);
       int cdb_make_add(struct cdb *c,char *key,unsigned int keylen,
                        char *data,unsigend int datalen);
       int cdb_make_finish(struct cdb *c);

DESCRIPTION

       cdb_make_start generates and intitialises a new cdb named c and makes
       it available via file descriptor fd.

       cdb_make_add adds entries using the file descriptor fd given as key
       with length keylen into the cdb returning the hashed values data with
       length datalen.

       cdb_make_finish finalises the data structure provided as fd.

RETURN CODES

       Usually, the cdb_make_* routines provide a return code of 0 for
       successful operations and -1 if anything is going wrong.

EXAMPLE

       #include <cdbmake.h>

         int fd;
         stralloc data = {0};
         stralloc key = {0};

         struct cdb_make c;

         if (cdb_make_start(&c,fd) == -1) die_write();
         if (cdb_make_add(&c,key.s,key.len,data.s,data.len) == -1)
           die_write();
         if (cdb_make_finish(&c) == -1) die_write();
         if (fsync(fd) == -1) die_write();
