🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the DtMmdbGetBookCaseByName page from the (library call) manual, bestie — it obtains a descriptor for a bookcase based on the bookcase name. no cap, that's the whole vibe of this function 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include &<DtMmdb.h>
int DtMmdbGetBookCaseByName(
       int infolib_descriptor,
       const char* base_name);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The DtMmdbGetBookCaseByName function makes the database engine ready to provide access service for a bookcase. It lets you access a bookcase by supplying its name — literally just hand it the name and it's giving lookup energy 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • infolib_descriptor — specifies the infolib that contains the bookcase, bestie 🫶
  • base_name — specifies the name of the bookcase. yep, that's the one 🌸

💀 RETURN VALUE 💀

If DtMmdbGetBookCaseByName completes successfully, it returns the descriptor for the bookcase. slay ✨

If it fails, it returns -1, indicating that there is no bookcase in the infolib with the specified name. not the vibe, but at least it's clear 😭

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

The following shows how a DtMmdbGetBookCaseByName call might be coded:

DtMmdbGetBookCaseByName(myInfoLib, "thisBookCase");

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

that's the whole page, bestie — sign-off time: the footer is just DtMmdbGetBookCaseByName(library call), and there's no separate source/version or date line shown, so no invented metadata here. periodt 🫶💅
