PX_UPDATE_RECORD(3)

💅 PX_UPDATE_RECORD — Library Functions Manual (section 3, bestie) 🎀

okay so picture this: you're in the middle of a Paradox file, you've got a record sitting there, and it's just... not it anymore. Enter PX_update_record. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

PX_update_record — updates an existing record in the Paradox file 🦋

(yes, the original page said "exiting" and honestly? a record that's exiting the chat is exactly what we're replacing, so it still ate 💅)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <paradox.h>

int PX_update_record(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, pxval_t **data, int recpos)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically: this function overwrites a record in the database with whatever data you've got sitting in the array dataptr. iconic behaviour, no notes. 👑

The record you're clapping back at has to be specified by its record number, which you pass in as the parameter recpos. And heads up bestie — the first record has number 0. zero-indexed queen, we been knew. 💀

The memory for dataptr can be freed after PX_update_record has been called. so like, you don't have to hold onto it forever, she's done with it, let her go 🫶

For more info on how to build up the record data, check the documentation of PX_insert_record(3) 📖

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

• Returns 0 on success 🎉
• Returns -1 on failure 😭
