PX_READ_PRIMARY_INDEX(3)

💖 PX_READ_PRIMARY_INDEX 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about PX_read_primary_index(3) — a little library function from the Library Functions Manual and honestly? she's giving "quiet but essential." no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

PX_read_primary_index — reads the primary index into an internal buffer 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <paradox.h>

int PX_read_primary_index(pxdoc_t *pindexdoc)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: this function reads the complete primary index into an internal buffer. that's it, that's the job, and she does it beautifully 💅

and once you've called it and it went well? you'll usually want to add that index to a database file by calling PX_add_primary_index(3). like, that's the natural next step, the plot progression, the character arc 🌈

and here's the part that matters: once the index is read and associated with a database file, it will be used when record data is accessed. so it's not just sitting there being decorative — it's working behind the scenes, main character energy but make it infrastructure 👑

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

• 0 — success, we ate, we devoured 🫶
• -1 — failure, it's giving tragedy 😭

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

• PX_add_primary_index(3) — the bestie she rides with 🎀
