✨ cdb_successor(3) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the cdb_successor(3) page from the Library Functions Manual — yes, we're in manual-page land and it's giving "find the next record" energy. 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

cdb_successor — find next record 👑

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <libowfat/cdb.h>

int cdb_successor(struct cdb *c, char *key, size_t klen);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So cdb_successor finds the record that follows key. Literally the next one. If key is NULL, then cdb_successor finds the first record. No cap. ✨

🚨 NOTE! The database must not contain keys with more than one associated record, or this API will lead to infinite loops! Use cdb_firstkey and cdb_nextkey instead. This is not a drill, bestie — infinite loops are the opposite of slay. 💀

You can use cdb_datapos or cdb_keypos to get position and cdb_datalen and cdb_keylen to get len. 🫶

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• cdb_firstkey(3)
• cdb_nextkey(3)

okay that's the whole vibe — cdb_successor(3) from the Library Functions Manual. The footer is just cdb_successor(3), and there's no source/version/date listed, so this is your cute sign-off: stay loop-free, use cdb_firstkey and cdb_nextkey when you need them, and go find those records. periodt. 💅🌈
