This function creates a nonlocking cursor for the specified collection. This type of cursor is sometimes referred to as a dirty-read cursor because no locking is involved. All applications are responsible for managing concurrent updates.
Format
#include <c$to2.h> long TO2_createCursor (const TO2_PID_PTR pid_ptr, TO2_ENV_PTR env_ptr, TO2_PID_PTR cursorPidPtr);
Normal Return
The normal return is a positive value.
Error Return
An error return is indicated by a zero. When zero is returned, use the TO2_getErrorCode function to determine the specific error code. For more information, see Error Handling.
The following error codes are common for this function:
TO2_ERROR_ENV
TO2_ERROR_METHOD
TO2_ERROR_PID
TO2_ERROR_REREAD
TO2_ERROR_ZERO_PID
Programming Considerations
Examples
The following example creates a nonlocking cursor.
#include <c$to2.h> /* Needed for TO2 API Functions */ #include <stdio.h> /* APIs for standard I/O functions */ TO2_PID collect; /* PID of the collection object */ TO2_ENV_PTR env_ptr; /* Pointer to TO2 environment */ TO2_PID cursor; /* PID of the cursor object */ TO2_ERR_CODE err_code; /* TO2 error code value
