FairCom ISAM for C

ctfiltercbAddFilter

ctfiltercbAddFilter() initializes resources that are used when processing the filter. The function receives the parameters passed to the filter.

Declaration

NINT ctfiltercbAddFilter(pTEXT libname, pTEXT funcname, pTEXT params,

pVOID libhandle, ppVOID pflthandle);

Description

libname - the filter callback DLL name that was passed to SetDataFilter().
funcname - the filter callback function name that was passed to SetDataFilter().
params - the function parameter string that was passed to SetDataFilter().
libhandle - the application-defined library handle that was set by ctfiltercbLoadLib().
pflthandle - a pointer to an application-defined filter handle. ctfiltercbAddFilter() can allocate memory for use by the filter callback function and can return its address in this parameter.

For example, if the parameter string is:

@#mycallback.dll#mycallback_function#my_params

then libname is “mycallback.dll”, funcname is “mycallback_function”, and params is “my_params”.
