dbm_delete() -- delete record from database

SYNOPSIS

#include <ndbm.h>

int dbm_delete(DBM *db, datum key);

The dbm_delete() function deletes a record and its key from the database specified by db. The argument key is a datum that has been initialized by the application program to the value of the key that identifies the record to be deleted.

A datum consists of at least two members, dptr and dsize. The dptr member points to an object that is dsize bytes in length. Arbitrary binary data, as well as character strings, may be stored in the object pointed to by dptr.

PARAMETERS

db: Points to the database where the record is to be deleted from. This must be a pointer returned by a prior call to dbm_open().
key: Is the key for the record to be deleted.
