Database reloading</A>
</H2>
The most important thing is to keep the internal instance of the database
up to date. You can watch database changes with the <code>cl_stat</code>
family of functions.
<PRE>
2007-10-08 19:22:34 +00:00
int cl_statinidir(const char *dirname, struct cl_stat *dbstat);
int cl_statchkdir(const struct cl_stat *dbstat);
int cl_statfree(struct cl_stat *dbstat);
</PRE>
2007-10-08 19:22:34 +00:00
Initialization:
<PRE>
2007-10-08 19:22:34 +00:00
...
struct cl_stat dbstat;
memset(&amp;dbstat, 0, sizeof(struct cl_stat));
cl_statinidir(dbdir, &amp;dbstat);
</PRE>
To check for a change you just need to call <code>cl_statchkdir</code> and check
2008-03-18 15:40:41 +00:00
its return value (0 - no change, 1 - some change occured):
2007-10-08 19:22:34 +00:00
<PRE>
if(cl_statchkdir(&amp;dbstat) == 1) {
reload_database...;
cl_statfree(&amp;dbstat);
cl_statinidir(cl_retdbdir(), &amp;dbstat);
}
</PRE>
2007-10-08 19:22:34 +00:00
Remember to reset the <code>cl_stat</code> structure after reload.
