💖 dbh_regen_sweep(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the DBHashTables Programmers' Manual, and it's literally all about making your DBHashTable's physical structure match its logical structure. glow-up for your data structure, no cap ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

dbh_regen_sweep, dbh_regen_fanout, dbh_settempdir — the trio that makes the physical structure of the DBHashTable congruent with the logical structure 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <dbh.h>

DBHashTable *dbh_regen_sweep (DBHashTable *dbh);
DBHashTable *dbh_regen_fanout (DBHashTable *dbh);
int dbh_settempdir (DBHashTable *dbh, char *temp_dir);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓 — you're regenerating the DBHashTable, which means you're eliminating erased records and optimizing disk access and speed. iconic behavior honestly.

• use dbh_regen_sweep when you want that optimized-for-sweep-access energy
• use dbh_regen_fanout when you want that optimized-for-fanout-access energy

how does it do it?? by creating a new DBHashTable where the physical structure matches the logical structure. main character rebuild moment 💅

the temporary directory where the new DBHashTable gets created can be set with dbh_settempdir(). very demure, very mindful, you get to pick where the new baby lives 🎀

heads up bestie: the current DBHashTable is closed before it's removed, and the new DBHashTable is opened after it's renamed. the order matters, fr fr 🔥

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

a pointer to the new DBHashTable. periodt. 👑
