A CTDB_ON_RECORD_BEFORE_WRITE callback is invoked just before a record is written with one of the FairCom DB record writing or updating functions. This callback is useful to prepare a record buffer just before data is written to disk.
The handle passed as a parameter with this callback is a record handle and you can safely typecast the handle parameter to a pCTDBRECORD structure pointer.
The following CTDBRECORD structure members keep information regarding the record buffer kept by the record handle:
CTDBRECORD Structure Member |
Explanation |
---|---|
pUTEXT recbuf |
record buffer |
VRLEN recbuf_size |
size in bytes of memory allocated for record buffer |
VRLEN recbuf_len |
actual length of data in record buffer |
