int
DBcursor->c_del(DBC *DBcursor, u_int32_t flags);
Description: DBcursor->c_del
The DBcursor->c_del method deletes the key/data pair to which the cursor
refers.
When called on a cursor opened on a database that has been made into a
secondary index using the DB->associate method, the DB->del method
deletes the key/data pair from the primary database and all secondary
indices.
The cursor position is unchanged after a delete, and subsequent calls to
cursor functions expecting the cursor to refer to an existing key will
fail.
The DBcursor->c_del method will return DB_KEYEMPTY if the element has already been deleted.
Unless otherwise specified, the DBcursor->c_del method
returns a non-zero error value on failure
and 0 on success.
Parameters
- flags
- The flags parameter is currently unused, and must be set to 0.
