DESCRIPTION

pmemkv database is configured using pmemkv_config structure. It stores mappings of keys (null-terminated strings) to values. A value can be:

• uint64_t
• int64_t
• c-style string
• binary data
• pointer to an object (with accompanying deleter function)

It also delivers methods to store and read configuration items provided by a user. Once the configuration object is set (with all required parameters), it can be passed to pmemkv_open() method.

List of options which are required by pmemkv database is specific to an engine. Every engine has documented all supported config parameters (please see libpmemkv(7) for details).

pmemkv_config *pmemkv_config_new(void);

Creates an instance of configuration for pmemkv database.

On failure, NULL is returned.

void pmemkv_config_delete(pmemkv_config *config);

Deletes pmemkv_config. Should be called ONLY for configs which were not passed to pmemkv_open (as this function moves ownership of the config to the database).

int pmemkv_config_put_uint64(pmemkv_config *config, const char *key, uint64_t value);

Puts uint64_t value value to pmemkv_config at key key.

int pmemkv_config_put_int64(pmemkv_config *config, const char *key, int64_t value);

Puts int64_t value value to pmemkv_config at key key.

int pmemkv_config_put_string(pmemkv_config *config, const char *key, const char *value);

Puts null-terminated string to pmemkv_config. The string is copied to the config.

int pmemkv_config_put_data(pmemkv_config *config, const char *key, const void *value, size_t value_size);

Puts copy of binary data pointed by value to pmemkv_config. value_size specifies size of the data.

int pmemkv_config_put_object(pmemkv_config *config, const char *key, void *value, void (*deleter)(void *));

Puts value to pmemkv_config. value can point to arbitrary object. deleter parameter specifies function which will be called for value when the config is destroyed (using pmemkv_config_delete).

int pmemkv_config_get_uint64(pmemkv_config *config, const char *key, uint64_t *value);

Gets value of a config item with key key. Value is copied to variable pointed by value.

int pmemkv_config_get_int64(pmemkv_config *config, const char *key, int64_t *value);

Gets value of a config item with key key. Value is copied to variable pointed by value.

int pmemkv_config_get_string(pmemkv_config *config, const char *key, const char **value);

Gets pointer to a null-terminated string. The string is not copied. After successful call value points to string stored in pmemkv_config.

int pmemkv_config_get_data(pmemkv_config *config, const char *key, const void **value, size_t *value_size);

Gets pointer to binary data. Data is not copied. After successful call *value points to data stored in pmemkv_config and value_size holds size of the data.

int pmemkv_config_get_object(pmemkv_config *config, const char *key, const void **value);

Gets pointer to an object. After successful call, *value points to the object.

Config items stored in pmemkv_config, which were put using a specific function can be obtained only using corresponding pmemkv_config_get_ function (for example, config items put using pmemkv_config_put_object can only be obtained using pmemkv_config_get_object). Exception from this rule are functions for uint64 and int64. If value put by pmemkv_config_put_int64 is in uint64_t range it can be obtained using pmemkv_config_get_uint64 and vice versa.

ERRORS

Each function, except for pmemkv_config_new() and pmemkv_config_delete(), returns status. Possible return values are:

• PMEMKV_STATUS_OK – no error
• PMEMKV_STATUS_UNKNOWN_ERROR – unknown error
• PMEMKV_STATUS_NOT_FOUND – record (or config item) not found
• PMEMKV_STATUS_CONFIG_PARSING_ERROR – parsing data to config failed
• PMEMKV_STATUS_CONFIG_TYPE_ERROR – config item has different type than expected
