19 /* Functions for accessing Exim's hints database, which consists of a number of
20 different DBM files. This module does not contain code for reading DBM files
21 for (e.g.) alias expansion. That is all contained within the general search
22 functions. As Exim now has support for several DBM interfaces, all the relevant
23 functions are called as macros.
25 All the data in Exim's database is in the nature of *hints*. Therefore it
26 doesn't matter if it gets destroyed by accident. These functions are not
27 supposed to implement a "safe" database.
29 Keys are passed in as C strings, and the terminating zero *is* used when
30 building the dbm files. This just makes life easier when scanning the files
33 Synchronization is required on the database files, and this is achieved by
34 means of locking on independent lock files. (Earlier attempts to lock on the
35 DBM files themselves were never completely successful.) Since callers may in
36 general want to do more than one read or write while holding the lock, there
37 are separate open and close functions. However, the calling modules should
38 arrange to hold the locks for the bare minimum of time. */

49 name The single-component name of one of Exim's database files.
50 flags Either O_RDONLY or O_RDWR, indicating the type of open required;
51 O_RDWR implies "create if necessary"
52 dbblock Points to an open_db block to be filled in.
53 lof If TRUE, write to the log for actual open failures (locking failures
55 panic If TRUE, panic on failure to create the db directory
57 Returns: NULL if the open failed, or the locking failed. After locking
58 failures, errno is zero.
60 On success, dbblock is returned. This contains the dbm pointer and
61 the fd of the locked lock file.
63 There are some calls that use O_RDWR|O_CREAT for the flags. Having discovered
64 this in December 2005, I'm not sure if this is correct or not, but for the

82 DB libraries "do things" on their open() calls which break the interlocking.
83 The lock file is never written to, but we open it for writing so we can get a
84 write lock if required. If it does not exist, we create it. This is done
